Project TitlePolitical socialization: influences of family, local, and political contexts.

My doctoral research examines how people form political attitudes through a process of political socialization, focusing on the influence of the family, local, and political contexts. More broadly, I am interested in questions related to voting behaviour, socio-political identities, democratic norms, inequality, and redistribution. I use mainly panel data and causal inference methods.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Philosophy, Politics and Economics with Social Data Science from University College London and an MPhil in Politics (Comparative Government) from the University of Oxford.
