I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Government at the LSE. I am supervised by Professor Steffen Hertog and Dr Omar McDoom.
My research broadly focuses on political violence and contentious politics, seeking to examine what factors structure mobilisation. I study this by applying quantitative and computational methods to historical cases.
My PhD thesis delves into this topic through three papers, the first of which examines how inter-ethnic contact affected mobilisation patterns in Mandatory Palestine.
Outside of my PhD research, I am interested in contention more broadly, as well as how political contention interacts with and is shaped by culture, for which I have published research in the Journal of Palestine Studies.
Prior to my PhD, I completed an MPhil in Modern Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Oxford. I also hold a BA in History from the University of Warwick.
