I am an Advance Research Fellow at the Centre for British Politics at the University of Nottingham. I specialise in modern British cultural and political history and am particularly interested in ideas about tradition, heritage, progress and modernity.
My first book will be published by Manchester University Press in 2012.
Before beginning my academic career, I was a think-tank researcher, specialising in democratic and constitutional reform. I am currently the Executive Chair of Republic, the campaign for an elected head of state.
