About

I am Senior Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Surrey. Previously I held a position as senior researcher at GESIS-Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences and was post-doctoral fellow at the University of Konstanz, Germany. My research follows two broad schemes: I work on the effect of policy change on political attitudes and the impact of economic factors on political attitudes and political outcomes. In my work, I use mixed and experimental methods to address topics in the field of public opinion, with preliminary interest in political behaviour, political attitudes, political representation, and quantitative methods. I am currently leading a research project on authoritarian attitudes among young people in Europe. I am currently working on my BA Grant exploring the dynamics of affective polarisation in Europe.
