I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Politics and International Studies at Loughborough University’s School of Social Sciences and Humanities. Prior to taking up my current position, I was a Marie Curie Research Fellow at Utrecht University’s School of Governance, and I also held a 3-year Assistant Professorship in the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University in affiliation with the UNIWEL (Universalism and the Welfare State) research project. My PhD (2014) is from McGill University’s Department of Political Science.

My research investigates the interplay between public opinion and policy, with a special focus on marginalised groups and the welfare state. Some of the questions I’ve explored include: What factors shape the relationship between societal insiders and outsiders? How can we best understand social policy preferences? And what drives welfare state reform?
