Hector Schamis

After obtaining my undergraduate degree in Sociology at the University of Buenos Aires, I pursued doctoral studies in Political Science at Columbia University. Since obtaining my Ph.D. degree I have been an Assistant Professor of Government at Cornell University. Previously, I had appointments at the University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, and the Kellogg Institute of the University of Notre Dame in the U.S. I also was a visiting scholar at Cambridge University in England, at CIEPLAN (Corporation for Latin American Economic Research) in Santiago, Chile, and at the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. In addition, I have also participated in research projects with the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (UN-ECLA) and with the Interamerican Development Bank (IDB), and I have been a consultant for the Ministry of Social Development of Argentina.
