I am a DPhil (PhD) candidate in politics at St Peter's College and the DPIR, where I focus mainly on political behaviour and public opinion. My doctoral research looks at the political effects of attachment to place, particularly on how we participate in politics, and how we evaluate social groups and candidates, primarily using panel studies and census data.
Before coming to Oxford, I completed an MSc in Comparative Politics at the London School of Economics. I have also worked in research and related roles for Labour Members of Parliament in the UK, and for local government.
