Stuart J. Turnbull-Dugarte

Dr. Stuart J. Turnbull-Dugarte is an Associate Professor in Quantitative Political Science. He joined the Department of Politics & International Relations in 2020 after gaining a PhD in Political Science from King's College London. He is an Associate Editor at Public Opinion Quarterly, the European Journal of Politics and Gender, and Research & Politics (Behaviour).

His research lies at the intersection of political sociology and comparative politics. Substantively, Stuart is interested in understanding the causes and consequences of far-right party success; how political identities shape electoral action; and the political behaviour of LGBTQ+ individuals and how the political preferences of this social strata diverge from those of cis-gender heterosexual peers.

Dr. Turnbull-Dugarte's research has been published in leading journals including, amongst others, the American Political Science Review, the British Journal of Political Science, the European Journal of Political Research, the Journal of European Public Policy, Journal of Politics, and Political Psychology.

Currently, Stuart is undertaking a Fellowship with the Leverhulme Trust and is writing a book - The Rainbow Vote: How LGBTQ+ voters think, what they want from politics, and how to win their vote - which is under contract with Princeton University Press. His first book - VOX: The Rise of the Spanish Radical Right (2020)- was published with Routldege in their Extremism and Democracy Series.
