- Lecturer in Scottish Electoral Politics, University of Edinburgh
My main research interests are devolved voting behaviour and comparative party politics, particularly the role of election pledges in representative democracy.
Since 2021 I have been a member of the ESRC-funded Scottish Election Study (SES) team and am currently a Co-Investigator on the 2026 SES.
I obtained my PhD from the University of Strathclyde in 2019. After working on various postdoctoral projects at the University of Glasgow, I joined Edinburgh PIR in January 2024 as a Fellow in Territorial Politics. In November 2025 I moved into the post of Lecturer in Scottish Electoral Politics.
