Biography

I have been at 果冻影院 since 2017 as Lecturer and then Associate Professor. I am also affiliated with 果冻影院鈥檚 Social Data Institute, where I direct a range of education programmes in data science including our innovative Social Data Science Programme for undergraduates. Before coming to 果冻影院, I did my PhD in Political Science at MIT and worked as an economist at the Bank of England.听

Research

My research focuses on political economy, public policy, political parties and political behaviour in the UK and Europe. My past work has examined long-term ideological change, attitudes to redistribution and the welfare state, and the politics of class, culminating in a recent book on the political economy of British welfare reforms: "". I am currently working on a new project on the politics of crime and punishment in the UK. 听
