Junior Fellow, Harvard Society of Fellows, 2006-2009.

Andrew Carnegie Fellow, 2017. 
Katerina Linos has been awarded a Carnegie fellowship to study the European refugee crisis.

Katerina Linos led a team of UC Berkeley and UC Davis staff and students to create the interactive data project, Digital Refugee (digitalrefuge.berkeley.edu). The team translated, coded, mapped and charted over 6,000 interviews with refugees, and over 10,000 facebook posts from Arabic and Farsi refugee sites, to contrast the official narrative of the European refugee crisis, with the refugee crisis seen from the perspective of displaced persons themselves. 

Katerina Linos's first book, The Democratic Foundations of Policy Diffusion,  examines how health, family, and employment laws spread across countries. Oxford University Press, 2013.
