I'm a DPhil (PhD) Candidate in Politics, researching resistance transformation and the trajectories of civil resistance campaigns. My research centres on the mechanisms of failure, specifically focusing on the interaction between state repression and movement escalation. I hold an MPhil in Comparative Government from Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford, and a BA in International Relations and Economics from Jacobs University in Germany.

Research interests:

  • Conceptual approaches to nonviolence

  • Civil and armed resistance

  • Multi-party conflict research
