Simone Tonelli

I am a Research Fellow in Economic Sociology and Principal Investigator of the project Social Investment and Technological Change: Mitigating Inequality in the Knowledge Economy (SINTECH) at the Department of Political and Social Sciences, University of Bologna.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in Comparative Political Economy at the School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh (UK) and a PhD researcher in Social Policy at the University of Bremen (Germany).

I received my PhD in Political Science from the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Science in 2022 with a thesis on public policy diffusion.

My fields of research are political economy and comparative public policy. I study socio-economic transformations in advanced capitalist countries, patterns of inequality and redistribution and public policies, in particular education and training.
