Welcome

I am Professor of Political Economy and Deputy Head of School for Research in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Glasgow. I am an affiliated researcher with Glasgow’s Centre for Public Policy and currently serve on the advisory board of the Scottish Government’s Centre of Expertise on Climate Change. I am an executive member of the Environmental Politics and Governance (EPG) network and will be a co-chair of the Climate Politics section of the European Political Science Society’s (EPSS) 2027 annual conference.

My research focuses on the political economy of climate politics and the energy transition. I study how politics and markets shape responses to climate change. My current work focuses on the politics of climate science, the political economy of green finance, and the distributional effects of climate policy and their intersection with populism.

I received the Emerging Young Scholar Award of APSA’s Science, Technology and Environmental Policy (STEP) section in 2021 and successfully obtained funding from the British Academy, the Carnegie Trust, Scotland Beyond Net Zero, and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). My work was published, among others, in the Journal of Politics, the British Journal of Political Science, Energy Economics, PNAS, and with MIT Press. I teach classes on international climate politics and data analysis for development.
