Welcome to my website! I am a DPhil candidate in Politics at the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford, and Corpus Christi College.
I am currently a visiting researcher at Sciences Po Paris and the Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics.
In my doctoral thesis, I seek to explain the trajectory of European integration through the structure of domestic party competition, and especially by reference to how European integration relates to other issues in the political space. This, in turn, is a product of how salient the issue was at the time of party system formation, and can thus be explained by the historical legacy of democratisation. More generally, I am interested in party competition, European integration, and historical political economy. My work has been published in the Journal of European Public Policy.
My doctoral studies are generously funded by the Renato Morelli Graduate Studentship in Politics, awarded jointly by the DPIR and Corpus Christi College.
Prior to my DPhil, I read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Oxford, graduating with a First Class degree. I also graduated summa cum laude from the Sciences Po Paris with a Master’s degree in Political Science (Research).
I have been a College Lecturer in Politics at Corpus Christi College as well as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in European Politics for the DPIR.
