About Me
I am a political scientist whose research focusses on the politics of climate change, particularly public attitudes towards climate change. I received my PhD from Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) in 2021, and was awarded a MBIE Science Whitinga Postdoctoral Fellowship, which I successfully completed in October 2023. I am interested in comparative politics more broadly, including the many different ways democracy functions in different countries. I am comfortable using both quantitative and qualitative methods, and have many years programming experience.
You can read more about my Postdoc project on the Royal Society Te Apārangi website.
