PhD Supervision

I welcome enquiries regarding PhD supervision in the areas of British and comparative politics, electoral behaviour and legislative politics. I am particularly interested in supervising candidates interested in carrying out rigorous empirical research. I currently supervise  or co-supervise three PhD students, all of whom are RCUK-funded.
