Anthony Kevins

Anthony is a political scientist interested in the interplay between public opinion, policy-making processes, and government legislation. Some of the questions he’s explored in his research include: How can we best understand social care preferences? What factors shape attitudes toward the welfare state? And why do some citizens want certain groups to have more or less policy influence than others?

Anthony has published over two dozen peer-reviewed studies, including in high-impact journals such as Comparative Political Studies, Political Psychology, and Political Behavior. His research has been awarded Best Article Prizes from Socio-Economic Review and Political Studies and discussed in media outlets such as The Globe and Mail, Maclean’s, and Le Monde.

He holds a five-year appointment to the UK Young Academy, and has more than a decade of teaching experience. He also serves as Lead of the Political Communication Theme at the Centre for Research in Communication and Culture, and as Branch Secretary of Loughborough University and College Union.
