Thank you for your visit! I am an assistant professor of political science at IE University. I earned my PhD at the European University Institute in July 2021. Before joining IE, I was a Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow in Politics at Nuffield College, University of Oxford, of which I remain an associate member.
I study what citizens think is acceptable to do in a democracy, why that is, and how it changes.
​
My book on social norms and the normalization of the radical right came out with Oxford University Press in 2024. It has been listed as one of the Financial Times best books of the year.
​
My articles have been published in The Journal of Politics, Comparative Political Studies, and British Journal of Political Science, among other academic journals.
My work been discussed in media outlets like the Financial Times, the Guardian, or POLITICO.
