I am a political scientist in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford, where I work as a Departmental Lecturer in International Relations, and a Research Associate at the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict.
My research is primarily concerned with the role of ideology in collective political violence, and in other severe forms of harm that human beings inflict on one another. In particular, I am interested in the ideological dynamics of violence against civilians, whether in genocides, atrocity crimes or terrorism. I also work more broadly on a range of subjects relating to international security, violent conflict, and the role of ideology in defence and foreign policy. For my annotated bibliography of research on ideology's effects on armed conflict, click here.
In Oxford's collegiate structure, I am based at New College, where I teach Oxford undergraduate students in the Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree and the History and Politics degree. I also teach and supervise graduate students for the Department of Politics and International Relations.
My doctorate (in politics) and masters (in political theory) were both obtained from the University of Oxford. My undergraduate degree in War Studies and History was at King's College London. My doctoral supervisor at Oxford was Elizabeth Frazer.
