Profile

I am a doctoral researcher working in the fields of British politics, legislative studies and digital society. I am interested in how citizens are using new tools for democratic engagement and my thesis looks at the use of parliamentary e-petitions by citizens and campaigning groups to understand how ‘everyday’ politics can affect decision making.
