David Casado Neira is a Professor in the Department of Sociology, Political Science and Public Administration and Philosophy at the University of Vigo, where he is affiliated with the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the Ourense campus. He is an active researcher in the CPS1 Governance Observatory G3 research group, focusing on sociological and anthropological studies related to gender, social exclusion, cultural heritage, and tourism.

His research interests span multiple areas including gender sociology, violence studies, social exclusion, cultural heritage management, tourism sociology, and blood donation sociology. Casado Neira has developed significant expertise in studying vulnerable populations, particularly examining ambivalent sexism among those receiving minimum insertion income in Galicia and analyzing educational perceptions and expectations in socially excluded families.

His publication record shows consistent scholarly output since 2001, with recent work focusing on specialized interpreter training for gender violence cases, thermal heritage in Ourense province, and anthropological studies of disappearance practices. His research often combines theoretical frameworks with practical applications for social intervention, particularly in Galician contexts.

Casado Neira completed his doctoral studies at the University of Santiago de Compostela with a thesis on blood donation practices in Galicia. His work demonstrates interdisciplinary connections between sociology, anthropology, and public policy, with particular attention to how social practices intersect with institutional frameworks in contemporary Galician society.
