Biography

I am an Associate Professor in Public Policy and currently serve as Director of Education for the Department of Political Science.

I study a range of issues falling within comparative politics, publicÌýpolicy, and comparative political economy, where my focus is onÌýindustrialised democracies.

Research

I am currently conducting research in three overlapping areas of study:Ìý1) the politics of austerity and of fiscal policy more generally; 2) theÌýpolitics of economic inequality; and 3) political economy and the media.
