My research centres around political psychology and behaviour. I am interested in how individuals conceptualise linkages between international and domestic politics, and how individuals conceptualise the possibilities and limits of their political agency in both spheres. Specifically, I am interested in how acts of protest may shape such conceptualisations and how protest participation becomes amplified or constrained in return. I explore these interests comparatively through the contexts of the US and Poland. In my work, I utilise a variety of research methods, including surveys, interviews, participatory fieldwork, and experimental designs.
Alongside my PhD project, I am also interested in observational and ethical questions surrounding measurement when compiling and utilising large-scale conflict data. I am also interested in how we measure and utilise ‘fear’ in conflict research, and how emotions may act as indicators for ‘hard to observe’ phenomena.
I hold an Honours Bachelors of Arts in International Relations and Ethics, Society and Law (ES&L) from the University of Toronto, and an MPhil in International Relations from the University of Oxford.
At ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳, I am supported by the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Studentship Funding Scheme, and previously served as Deputy Editor for Vol. 50 of Millennium: Journal of International Studies.
