Horizon Europe Project CAPABLE
I am currently a researcher on the Horizon Europe Project CAPABLE, a collaborative project of 11 institutions across Europe. The project's objective is to produce methodological and empirical advances in climate policy evaluation by combining insights from different disciplines. I specifically contribute to the project's investigation of political and social dynamics underpinning public acceptability of environmental policy.
Ongoing CAPABLE projects:
Do super emitters (de)motivate climate support? (with Julien Picard and Théodore Tallent)
Elite cues and climate policy support (with Silvia Pianta and António Valentim)
Measuring Members' of European Parliament perceptions of public opinion on climate change mitigation policies (with Silvia Pianta)
Systematic literature review of determinants of climate policy support (with CAPABLE consortium)
A comparison of methods to detect climate change position in political discourse (with Silvia Pianta, Jared Finnegan, and Fergus Green)
Examining how political platforms on climate change translate to political outcomes (with Silvia Pianta and Nicolas Schmid)
More 'nascent' projects:
Quantification of fashion influencer carbon footprints via social media data and development of a conceptual and methodological framework to assess their marginal influenced emissions. I have been awarded a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship to begin work on this in Spring 2026.
Analysis of climate change focus in EU and UK political advertisements on social media with members of the Centre for Climate Communication and Data Science
Exploration of support for degrowth/postgrowth/agrowth policies conditioned on communication with different frames with Prof Robert Gifford
