Having joined the University of Oxford and DPIR as a student reading for an MPhil in Politics (European Politics & Society) at the beginning of Michaelmas Term 2023, I am currently researching Euroscepticism and its effects on vote choice under the supervision of Tarik Abou-Chadi. More broadly, I am interested in political behaviour, elections and political trust across Europe.

Prior to my studies at Oxford, I was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Politics by the Department of Government at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

I'm a first-year MPhil candidate in Politics (Political Theory) at the DPIR, aiming to explore the intersection of political disobedience and social epistemology. More broadly, my interests span analytic feminist thought, conceptual engineering, and the philosophy of race.

Prior to joining Oxford, I graduated with a first-class BA in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the University of Warwick.

I joined DPIR and the University of Oxford as a student reading for an MPhil in Politics (European Politics & Society) at Mansfield College in 2023. My main research interest is in the area of party politics and opposition studies. Under the supervision of Nick Dickinson, my MPhil dissertation will explore drivers and motivations of legislative party factionalisation at the level of individual parliamentarians.

Barbora completed her MPhil in International Relations in June 2024 and is going on to study for a DPhil in Areas Studies of Russia and East Europe at the University of Oxford.
