I would be interested in supervising PhD projects in any aspect of electoral politics or young people's politics. In addition, I would also be interested in projects on electoral reform (particularly voting age reform), any aspect of UK devolution, political values attitudes and identities. I can provide specialist support for projects that aim to use quantitative methodologies and survey methods but I am happy to supervise projects on the above topics that utilise other methodologies.

I am a political scientist whose research primarily focuses on studying electoral politics in Europe and the UK.  My primary research interests are political values and attitudes, young people's politics and the 'votes-at-16' debate.  My secondary research interests are the politics of integration within the European Union, trust in UK devolved insitutions, young people's political identities and the role of European values in citizenship education.
