Theodoros Karapantzios

Broadly speaking, Theodore’s research interests lie in historical political economy and political behavior, with a focus on gender, social norms, and contentious politics. More specifically, his work examines norm erosion, social change, and the dynamics of minority victimization and gender-based violence. He investigates these topics using a mixed-methods approach with an emphasis on causal identification. Theodore joined ETH Zurich in 2024, after studying at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Sciences Po Paris, and the University of Turin.
