Eleanor Knott

Assistant Professor in Qualitative Methodology, London School of Economics

I am a political scientist and teach qualitative research methods in the Department of Methodology at the LSE.

​My research focuses on the intersection of identity and citizenship in post-Soviet space and in post-Brexit Britain. I have two current projects: Kin Majorities where I examine Crimea and Moldova, and EU in the UK where I examine the meaning of EU citizenship for EU27 citizens in the UK following the 2016 Brexit referendum.

At LSE, I teach a course on case studies and comparative methods for qualitative research. Publicly available materials (e.g. reading list, lecture slides and recordings) are available here.
