Zoe is a DPhil candidate in Sociology, supported by the ESRC Grand Union DTP and Nuffield College. 

Zoe's research explores contemporary shifts in gender relations, focusing on the growing cross-national gender divide in young people's political orientation. It investigates the role of feminist attitudes and sexism in shaping the youth gender divide, and how this relates to political socialization processes and structural gender equality. She is supervised by Dr Lindsay Richards and Professor Man-Yee Kan.
