Dr. Luise Koeppen is a Lecturer and PhD Candidate in the Department of Economic Geography at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Spatial Sciences. Her research focuses on political geography, social and spatial inequalities, and the role of social capital in shaping regional dynamics. She has published extensively on topics such as voting behavior of radical political parties, geographies of discontent, and the interplay between migration and regional development.
Her work combines quantitative methods, including multilevel modeling, to analyze spatial and socio-political phenomena. Recent studies include examining social capital’s influence on post-Brexit voting patterns and the relationship between long-term economic decline and collective discontent.
- Key Research Themes: Social Capital, Political Polarization, Regional Inequalities, Well-being Metrics
- Methodological Expertise: Multilevel Regression, Spatial Analysis, Comparative Politics
Her 2024 doctoral thesis, Navigating the Geography of Discontent, provides a framework for understanding how place-based factors interact with individual sentiments to shape political outcomes. Ongoing projects explore the socioeconomic impacts of migration and the role of local governance in addressing spatial disparities.
