Dr. Vainius Bartasevičius serves as Assistant Professor at Vilnius University's Institute of International Relations and Political Science (IIRPS VU), affiliated with the Department of Political Behavior and Institutional Studies. His academic home is formally situated within the Political Economy Research Group.
His educational background includes a PhD in Political Science from the University of Sussex (2020), where his doctoral research focused on citizenship politics in Central and Eastern Europe. During his doctoral studies, he taught courses on Migration Policy, the Far Right, and Research Methods.
Bartasevičius specializes in migration, citizenship, nationalism studies, and quantitative research methods within comparative politics. His work critically examines how cultural attitudes and national identity concepts shape immigration perceptions in Europe, with particular emphasis on Central and Eastern European contexts. Recent publications demonstrate methodological rigor through meta-analyses, cross-national comparisons, and policy evaluations.
His research portfolio includes active participation in the "Lithuanian authorities’ response to the polycrisis 2021-2025 (LIVIA)" project and a postdoctoral fellowship (2022-2024) investigating how deeply rooted cultural attitudes influence European immigration attitudes. Conference presentations at ECPR, Council for European Studies, and UCL events showcase his engagement with scholarly communities.
At VU TSPMI, he teaches core courses including Migration and Citizenship (elective), Quantitative Research Methods for the Global Challenges in Politics programme, and Causal Analysis for the MSc in Public Policy Analysis. His seven+ years of experience in public policy evaluations for Lithuanian, UK, and EU institutions bridges academic research with practical governance.
Professional engagement extends through ORCID, Twitter, LinkedIn, and ResearchGate profiles, reflecting active scholarly networking and knowledge dissemination beyond traditional academic channels.
