Biography
Dr. Anne-Sophie Delval holds a PhD in sociology and specializes in the internationalization of elite education, Swiss local elites, transnational strategies of social reproduction, and the theory of cosmopolitan capital. Her research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis (descriptive statistics, multiple correspondence analysis, regression) with qualitative methods such as interviews, observations, and documentary analysis. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark), she served as project manager for the Open Elite Data initiative at the Swiss Elite Observatory. She is currently a senior researcher on the project Beyond the Core: Elites and Power in Swiss Second-Tier City-Regions, 1890–2020.
