Welcome!

I am a political scientist specialising in comparative politics, with a focus on how parliaments work and how they hold governments to account. I am also interested in social science research methods, particularly in developing and applying mixed-methods research designs to explore comparative questions about political institutions.​​

​

I am a Lecturer in Politics and Qualitative Research Methods in the School of Social Sciences at Birkbeck College, University of London. Before joining Birkbeck in January 2026 I held positions at UCL and LSE. I am also an Honorary Research Fellow at the Constitution Unit and the Department of Political Science at UCL.
