I am a first-year DPhil student in Politics at Nuffield College. In my current research I explore the relevance of social identities for linkages between voters and political movements, considering both the short term effect of political movements' symbolic appeals to social groups on voting behaviour and the long term role of these more symbolic, identity based linkages for processes of cleavage formation. My work is guided by a more general interest in the role of political actors during processes of attitude and preference formation.
