I am an Associate Professor (Reader the UK system) of Politics (Quantitative Methods) in the Department of Politics, International Relations and Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, where I currently serve as Interim Head of Department. I am also co-investigator of the Marie Curie Doctoral Network Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Politics of Adolescence & Democracy (IP-PAD) and was co-editor-in-chief of Electoral Studies from 2018 to 2023. My broad research interests are in political behaviour, elections, political socialisation, generational change, the development of political attitudes and behaviours, comparative politics, survey research and research methods.

A lot of my research focuses on why people participate in politics and I am particularly interested in how patterns of political participation change over time. Since the political behaviour of young people seems to drive new patterns of political participation that have emerged over the last decades, a lot of my research focuses on young people’s politics.
