About

I am a Professor of Politics at the University of Bath, UK.My first book,The Political Class: Why It Matters Who Our Politicians Are, was published in April 2018 by Oxford University Press. You can buy it in hardback from Amazon, OUP, Hive, Waterstones, and Foyles (and all other good bookshops). It is also available on Amazon Kindle.

I have been an ESRC Future Research Leaders grant holder (2016-18), and I took up a Visiting Fellowship at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. through the AHRC International Placement Scheme in 2016/7.
