About

I read my BA in History and Politics at Clare College, Cambridge (2003-6; upgraded to MA, 2010), before working as a researcher in the House of Commons (2006-7), and at the Leadership Centre for Local Government (full-time 2007-8; part-time 2008-10), where I worked closely with senior politicians in all three main parties.

I completed my MA in Modern History at King's College, London (2008-9), graduating with the top mark in my year and winning the Jinty Nelson Prize in History for my dissertation, which was on Winston Churchill's 1922 election defeat at Dundee and its ramifications for our understanding of British political realignment in the 1920s.

I joined the department in January 2010, as the first recipient of Warwick's joint collaborative doctoral award with the History of Parliament Trust.
