I am a political scientist and I work as a Lecturer in Politics at University College, Oxford. I am completing a DPhil (PhD) at Nuffield College and the Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR) at the University of Oxford. Previously, I studied at the University of Essex and the University of Florence.
My research focuses on political representation and party competition. I study how social cleavages, economic inequalities and elite strategies shape politics in advanced industrial and post-industrial democracies – with a particular focus on Western Europe, and use of quantitative methods.
I am also interested more broadly in questions on electoral politics and voting behaviour, democracy and state formation.
I teach comparative politics, focusing on causal theories and empirical evidence in the study of political structures and institutions, attitudes and behaviours.
