Stanford Profile

Women still face major barriers to attaining political leadership positions. Alba’s research examines these inequalities by analyzing how leaders' attitudes and characteristics shape women’s inclusion in politics and governments. Combining observational and experimental data, her work demonstrates that the dynamics of government negotiations contribute significantly to the gender gap in top political roles, affecting the substantive representation of diverse constituencies.

Alba Huidobro joins Stanford as a postdoctoral fellow from 2022-2024.
