Research Themes
My research interests include political decision-making, administrative leadership, institutional memory, and the role of political rhetoric in public policy. Recent books include the monograph 'Megaphone Bureaucracy', published by Princeton University Press in 2019, and a 2021 book comparing the traditions of cabinet government across five countries (written with co-authors Prof. Patrick Weller and Prof. Rod Rhodes and published by Oxford University Press).
Teaching Responsibilities
I was Director of the MPhil in Public Policy (MPP) from 2018-2020 and continue to teach on a number of MPP modules. I also teach a course on Rhetorical Leadership for the MPhil in Politics and International Studies.
