Melis Kirgil

I am a researcher at the Institute for Futures Studies, with academic affiliations at Helsinki University and Stockholm University. I completed my PhD in Sociology at Stockholm University in 2023, following an MSc in Social and Behavioral Sciences from the University of Groningen in 2019.

My research interests include social norms, social inequality, cooperation, and collective intentionality. I use a range of qualitative, quantitative, and computational methods in my work. Currently, I focus on understanding how ethnic stereotypes evolve over time through text analysis.
