I am a first-year MPhil Political Theory candidate, researching early modern political thought. My research explores the political philosophy of Francis Bacon, how his epistemological thought shapes his political theory, and the development of his political thought alongside his political career. Generally, my research interests include the history of political philosophy, both ancient and modern, and contemporary critical theory.

Wei Wang is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and the Lead Researcher for the Value-based Leadership for International Development project, developing an online course focused on character-based leadership training for a global audience. This endeavour is a collaborative effort with the Legatum Foundation and the Human Flourishing Program at the Institute for Quantitative Social Sciences at Harvard University.

I am a Research Assistant on the project Voter ID in the UK, which aims to analyse the impact of the introduction of Voter ID in the UK. Outside of my work on this project, I am completing a PhD at the University of Essex which explores ideology in the UK. I investigate how political attitudes are related to self-placement in the left-right space, and how this has changed during the turbulent last decade of British politics. My research interests include public opinion, political behaviour and political psychology.
