Personal profile
Research Focus
I am a 2nd year PhD candidate at Queen's. My thesis, tentatively titiled 'Harold Macmillan and the Politics of the Cold War, 1957-1963', examines how elite and party politics interacted with foreign policy in several different dimensions of the Cold War during Macmillan's premiership.
I also have interests in other periods of British political and international history. I recently published an article in Contemporary British History on anti-communism and red scares in early 1920s British domestic politics, and am currently preparing an article on the relationship between Edward Heath's government and the Cold War.
I have a research background and long-standing interest in Cuban politics, and my work on political participation and its role in policy formulation in Cuba culminated in an article published by Socialism and Democracy.
