DPhil in Politics

I am a DPhil candidate in Politics. My research explores the parliamentary consequences of partisan dealignment. In particular, I study parliamentary behaviour and rules, asking if declining partisanship among voters has weakened the role of political parties inside parliaments.

Before beginning my DPhil in October 2017, I studied for a BA in History & Politics, and an MPhil in Politics (European Politics & Society), both at the University of Oxford. I currently teach undergraduates for the 'Modern British Politics & Government' and 'Politics in Europe' papers.
