I am a lecturer in international relations quantitative methods and I am the International Relations MSc director at the University of Edinburgh (link).
In 2015 I received a PhD in Political Science from the University of California, Davis. Before starting at Edinburgh, I was a department lecturer at the University of Oxford.
My research seeks to under the extent to which cooperation is possible at the international level. To understand this, I explore how and why states negotiate and ratify treaties and how states engage with/through international organisations. This research has specifically tended to centre around human rights international law, specifically laws related to human trafficking and migrant rights. My research has been published or is forthcoming at journals such as International Studies Quarterly, the British Journal of Political Science, and the European Journal of Political Research.
My teaching focuses on international relations, specifically the role of bargaining and negotiation int international processes, and research methods, primarily introductory statistics. Both strands of this teaching focus on research-led learning.
When I am not working, I enjoy reading fiction, walking, knitting, embroidering, baking, and playing with my kids.
