Prior to joining Oxford’s DPIR, I graduated with a first-class BA in Politics and International Studies from the University of Warwick.

I'm a first-year MPhil in Political Theory, based at Worcester College. My interests lie across a broad range of political theory, but particularly with communitarian and realist critiques of liberalism and their underlying philosophical principles.
Before coming to Oxford, I studied Human, Social and Political Science at the University of Cambridge. There, I focused on the History of Political Thought and worked on applying the historical method to the work of Jonathan Sacks for the first time.
