We are pleased to announce that Alessandra Basso will be joining our Department in September 2024 as LSE Fellow.

Alessandra Basso earned her PhD in philosophy from the University of Helsinki before becoming a Newton International Fellow at the University of Cambridge’s Department of History and Philosophy of Science. Her primary research interests lie in the philosophy of the social sciences, with a particular focus on economics and measurement.

The Department regularly appoints LSE Fellows who will contribute to the intellectual life of the Department and the School by delivering excellent teaching at both undergraduate and master’s level, with teaching on more advanced courses being research-led. The post also permits substantial time for research, and the post-holders will be expected to contribute to the research culture and intellectual life of the department in their areas of specialisation.
