Personal profile

Overview

I am a political scientist interested in how social cleavages shape electoral outcomes, and, as a result, who has power in advanced industrial democracies. More specifically, I study how the long-term social changes of migration and educational expansion shape electoral behaviour in Great Britain and beyond. I welcome enquiries about PhD supervision in these areas, and comparative political behaviour more broadly. I work frequently with experiments and large-scale social surveys, including Understanding Society, the UK Household Longitudinal Study, which has large ethnic minority and immigrant boost samples.

At Manchester I convene a third year undergraduate module in the Politics of Race, Ethnicity and Migration (POLI32162), and an MA course on research methods and causal inference (POLI71212). I also teach on the first year module Introduction to Comparative Politics (POLI10201/2).
