King’s People

Biography

I am a political theorist interested in questions of democracy (deliberative and participatory approaches), inequality, and urban governance. My work is interdisciplinary and combines normative political theory with qualitative methods and a public policy focus.

Before joining King’s as a Lecturer, I have been a Postdoctoral Research Associate here at King’s and an LSE Fellow at the London School of Economics. My postdoctoral project ‘Coping with Complexity and Urban Inequality: Dilemmas of Democratic Mega-city Governance’ was fully funded by the Economic and Social Research Council UK. My PhD is from the London School of Economics, Government Department (2020). I am also a member of the Leadership Collective of the Critical Policy Studies Related Group, American Political Science Association.
