Profile

I am an ESRC-funded PhD research student in the Department of Politics and International Relations, focusing on the political economy of cannabis legalisation in the United States. My research critically analyses this process through the lens of Marxist theory, exploring the broader socio-economic and policy implications of cannabis reform.
