My teaching areas include comparative politics, political sociology and quantitative methods. I am particularly interested in ways of embedding Quantitative Methods into substantive Political Science courses.
In 2017, I received a Teaching and Learning Award from the University of Liverpool for my contribution to improving students' quantitative skills through the use of flipped-classrooms and problem-based learning. In 2016, I received a Fellowship in Teaching and Learning from the University of Liverpool (jointly with Dr Nicholas Lees) with a project about embedding quantitative methods into substantive politics modules. In 2015 I received a "You're Brill" Award for excellence in teaching from the University of Derby Students' Union.
