I am Associate Professor of Public Policy in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick.
I specialise in the application of political theory to public policy, covering things ilke deliberative democracy and democratic innovation; public participation in policy making; and the narrative, performative aspects of policy and politics. I've written on deliberative experiments in the UK National Health Service, referendums around the world, symbolic representation in capital cities and much more.
You can find out more about my work by clicking the research tab above, which has links to papers, books and ideas, some of which are freely downloadable.
If you are a research student, or thinking of doing a research degree on any of these issues, I am always keen to hear from you.
