I am a DPhil in Politics student at the DPIR.
I was previously a MPhil student in Comparative Government at the DPIR. My thesis focused on:
- conceptualising non-state security actors, and;
- identifying the conditions under which states choose to outsource their coercive capabilities
I serve as a research assistant with the Department of Sociology, where I study the relationship between public and private violence, and with the Institute for Replication (I4R).

War in Ukraine and elsewhere has created more human suffering. Record-breaking temperatures, fires, storms and floods sound the alarm of planetary systems increasingly out of whack. Together, they are fuelling a cost-of-living crisis felt around the world, painting a picture of uncertain times and unsettled lives.Uncertainty is not new, but its dimensions are taking ominous new forms today.
