I am a comparative political scientist interested in the origins of exclusionary politics in modern nation-states. My current mixed-methods comparative research explores modern migration control, illiberalism, and the threat of democratic backsliding in liberal democracies. I completed my DPhil in Politics at the DPIR in 2024 and am now developing case studies and other resources for immersive political science and public policy teaching at the Blavatnik School of Government's Case Centre on Public Leadership, University of Oxford. I am an Associate Member of Nuffield College.
I continue to offer undergraduate teaching in paper 205: "The Government and Politics of the United States".
