I’m a DPhil student in political theory. My project focuses on the relationship between ecological breakdown and US empire, sitting at the intersection of intellectual history, political theory, and international relations.

Additional research interests include the history of anti-colonialism, Irish political and intellectual history, and contemporary debates within Marxism and social theory about the 'Anthropocene’.

I joined DPIR as a MPhil student in Comparative Government in October 2022. My research interests lie in the politics of the welfare state and more broadly in comparative political economy, political behaviour and psychology, and methodology. In my MPhil thesis I analyse the effects of stigmatisation of welfare beneficiaries on take up and support of social benefits.
