About
I was appointed to the Institute as Politics Lecturer in 2019 and promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2024. I mostly work in the subdiscipline of parliamentary studies, and have a particular interest in consociational power-sharing institutions: their effectiveness, whether and how they can be reformed, and what the public think about these topics. I have explored these questions through the case-study of Northern Ireland. I’m also interested in UK parliamentary studies more broadly, and have co-authored work on devolved legislatures in Britain as well as the relationship between MPs and constituents.
From 2024 to 2026, I will be working on a Leverhulme Trust-funded project which investigates the interplay between power-sharing, political instability, and minority rights activism in Northern Ireland.
