Module Convenor: Introduction to Contemporary Democracy (PO1ICD)

Lecturer: The Politics of Climate Change (PO1PCC)

Co-convenor: Research Seminar Series

Areas of interest

I study Comparative Politics and Political Behavior, focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa. Using quantitative and qualitative approaches, my research focuses on how political institutions enhance democratic accountability and facilitate human development. Specifically, I am interested in the internal organisation of political parties as well as legislatures, and how their representatives affect processes of democratisation and development. In a related line of inquiry, I focus on how governments, political parties, and citizens deal with the challenge of climate change.

A second stream of research assesses judicial power in Africa and its implications for citizens’ perception of the courts on the one hand, and the quality of elections on the other.

Postgraduate supervision

I am keen to hear from potential PhD students wishing to research democratic accountability in Africa, especially the relationship between citizens and political institutions such as political parties, legislatures and the courts.
