I'm a DPhil (PhD) Candidate in Politics, researching resistance transformation and the trajectories of civil resistance campaigns. My research centres on mechanisms of failure, specifically the interaction between state repression and movement escalation.
I hold an MPhil in Comparative Government from Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford, and a BA in International Relations and Economics from Jacobs University in Germany.

I am a DPhil Candidate in Politics interested in political economy, business power, and judicial politics. My thesis research analyses relationships between North American advanced-democratic states and international courts, and the impact of those relationships on economic and climate industrial policy. I also pursue secondary research interests in labour and authoritarian politics.
