-----------
In another life I am a political scientist. My principal research interests encompass aspects of governance, representation and accountability in a broad range of organisations (political, non governmental and third sector).
I am active in the Social Science Research Group and a member of the Global Security and Human Rights theme.
I also work across other domains including:
- Regional, City and Local Government and Governance
- Public Governance (Education, Health and Politics)
- Democratic Theory
- Organisational Sensemaking
- Qualitative Research Methods (In particular: Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis)
- Qualitative Electoral Studies
- Political Leadership (City Leadership/Elected Mayors)
- Liberal Democrats.
- Digital Democracy
Along with Dr Kristi Winters, Dr Edzia Carvalho, and Dr Nora Siklodi, I am a co-investigator for the Qualitative Election Study of Britain.
I am part of the Bristol Civic Leadership Project with Professor Robin Hambleton and Dr David Sweeting.
I am an Associate Lecturer at the Institute of Local Government Studies, University of Birmingham.
I am currently convenor of the Liberals and Liberalism Specialist Group and joint founder and convenor of the Qualitative Research Specialist Group of the Political Studies Association.
