I am a DPhil (PhD) student working on public opinion and political behaviour in democracies, with a focus on political trust. I work primarily with causal inference methods using longitudinal and family data.
My research has been published in the Journal of Politics and the British Journal of Political Science. You can find a full list of my publications and working papers on my personal website.
At Oxford, I teach undergraduate tutorials for Political Sociology, Comparative Government, and Introduction to the Practice of Politics. I also teach quantitative methods classes for undergraduates (Political Analysis) and graduate students (Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences).
My work is funded by an Advanced Quantitative Methods studentship from the Economic and Social Research Council.
