Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor)

I’m a political scientist interested in the interplay between public opinion, policy-making processes, and government legislation.
Some questions I’ve explored in my research include: How can we best understand social care preferences? What factors shape attitudes toward the welfare state? And why do some citizens want certain groups to have more or less policy influence than others?
I’ve published over two dozen peer-reviewed studies, and you can find my articles in high-impact journals such as Comparative Political Studies, the European Journal of Political Research, and Political Studies. My research has been awarded Best Article Prizes from Socio-Economic Review and Political Studies and discussed in media outlets such as The Globe and Mail, Maclean’s, and Le Monde.
I also hold a five-year appointment to the UK Young Academy, and have more than a decade of teaching experience.
