I hold a DPhil in International Relations (IR) from St Antony's College, University of Oxford. My research - funded by a DPIR Studentship and previously the Governor Phillip Scholarship - explores the history of Anglo-American fascist international thought during the interwar period through to the mid-twentieth century. I am particularly concerned with ideas of fascist internationalism and recovering intersections between far-right actors and the disciplinary history of IR. Beyond my doctoral dissertation, my research also encompasses the study of contemporary forms of far-right extremism.
