Sergio Galaz-García

Dr. Sergio Galaz-García serves as a Visiting Researcher at the Center for Civil Society Research within the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB) and holds a postdoctoral position at Universidad Carlos III in Madrid. He is additionally affiliated with the Juan March Institute. His work bridges political sociology, historical sociology, and quantitative historical analysis through empirical investigations of Western European political discourse since the 1970s oil crisis.

Galaz-García's research program examines three interconnected domains: the historical evolution of socio-economic status disparities in political discussions, the impact of sudden political uncertainty on civic participation, and methodological innovations for mapping political belief systems from survey data. His interdisciplinary approach integrates sociological theory with advanced quantitative techniques, particularly through collaborations with mathematical and statistical researchers to develop novel analytical frameworks.

At the Center for Civil Society Research, he contributes to cross-institutional teams advancing computational social science methodologies. While specific advising roles and grant details remain undisclosed in available materials, his active project portfolio demonstrates sustained scholarly productivity and institutional collaboration across European academic networks.
