I am a DPhil (PhD) student working mostly on public opinion and political psychology. My research is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.
I study how much people trust politicians and political authorities, how and why that changes, and the consequences of (low) political trust. I also have an interest in replication and meta-science.
My research (with James Tilley) on how scandals affect trust in politics is forthcoming in the British Journal of Political Science. You can find a full list of my publications and working papers on my personal website.
