Biography
I am a political theorist specializing in democracy, locality, and cities, with a particular focus on deliberative and participatory approaches. My research brings together normative political theory, qualitative methods, and a public policy perspective.
I am currently a Lecturer in Politics at King’s College London and a Co-Investigator on the Horizon Europe project Innovating Spaces of Participation: Inclusive, Resilient, Embedded (INSPIRE). I was previously Co-PI on Mind the Gap: Understanding the Cost-of-Living Crisis with the KCL Policy Institute and held an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Political Economy. Before joining King’s, I was an LSE Fellow at the London School of Economics.
I received my PhD in Government from the London School of Economics in 2020. At King’s, I convene and teach modules in Political Theory and in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and I co-lead the Philosophy, Politics and Economics Research Group at the Department.

I am on a research leave in the autumn term 2025/26 and will not be holding office hours.

- Ethics and Public Policy
