Nina Obermeier joined the Department of Political Economy at King’s College London as lecturer in politics in 2023. She received her PhD in government from Cornell University. Her research interests lie at the intersection of comparative politics and international relations. In much of her work, she examines how attitudes towards international affairs shape – and are shaped by – processes of political contestation and identity formation at the domestic level.

Her research has been published in the Journal of Politics and the Journal of Elections, Public Opinion and Parties. She has received a number of awards for her research and teaching, including the Wade Jacoby Prize for Best Dissertation in EU Studies, the David A. Lake Award for Best Paper presented at the International Political Economy Society (IPES), and Cornell University’s Dean’s Prize for Distinguished Teaching.
