I am a Fellow in Foreign Policy Analysis and International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where I completed my PhD in 2012. Prior to joining the IR Department faculty I spent one year as Executive Officer to LSE Director Professor Craig Calhoun.
My research interests cover international relations, the domestic influences over (especially British) foreign policy, and international communication. I am a constructivist by ontological inclination and an epistemological interpretivist for the most part (the legacy of undergraduate studies in history). Most of my work involves a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, especially historical source criticism, content analysis and interviews.
I teach international politics and foreign policy analysis to research students, taught graduate students and undergraduates. I’m quite good at it, at least if you’re willing to believe my students.
You can find a full list of my published and unpublished research here.
My full CV is available here. It’s a new version and I’m quite pleased with it.
You can contact me via my LSE staff page.
