About
I am a political theorist, and policy researcher, working at the interface of politics, philosophy, and economics.
My research focuses on three interconnected themes:
(i) The future of work and labour market regulation
(ii) Spatial inequality and local economic development
(iii) Local governance and democracy.
Through my research I aim to integrate normative political theory with analysis of live debates in public policy, especially those affecting the local or urban scale. In particular I am interested in exploring how our understanding of concepts such as freedom, equality, democracy, and justice help us to critically assess our existing political and economic systems, and shape alternative trajectories.
I joined the Heseltine Institute for Public Policy, Practice and Place as a Research Associate in 2021 following the completion of my PhD in Politics at the University of York. I also hold an MA in Legal and Political Theory from UCL and a BA in Politics and International Relations from Royal Holloway.
Prior to joining the Heseltine Institute I worked as a Research Officer with Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, working closely on long-term economic strategy and the devolution agenda. I have also previously completed visiting positions at Harvard University, Humboldt University of Berlin, and the Royal Society of Arts (RSA).
