I am a College Lecturer in Politics for St Hugh’s College and a Departmental Lecturer in the Comparative Politics of Latin America at the Department of Politics and International Relations and the School of Global and Area Studies at the University of Oxford. I received my PhD in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2020, where I specialised in comparative politics and research methods.
Research Interests
My research interests concentrate on the political economy of formal and informal labour markets, focusing on how state regulation over labour markets and social policy initiatives affect and are affected by collective action by informal workers, labour unions, and policy experts in emerging economies of the Global South, with a special focus in Latin America.
Before joining Oxford, I was a a Research Associate at Cardiff Business School, an LSE Fellow in the Department of Government at the London School of Economics and Political Science, a Research Associate at the Robert Schuman Centre at the European University Institute, and a Pre-doctoral Research Fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, University of Notre Dame.
