Personal profile

I studied Economics and Politics as an undergraduate at the University of Edinburgh, before  moving to the University of Manchester for my PhD. I taught briefly at the University of Leeds before coming to Bristol in 1989. I have been a Professor since 2007.

Research

My central research interest lies in labour politics and social democracy. My focus is on the development of the British Labour party since 1945. I am especially interested in the party’s relationships with other social democratic parties and its attitude to the wider world, particularly towards Europe.

I am also interested in the evolution of the party's policy commitments since 1983, the changes to its organisational structure, and the nature of its electoral outlook.

Teaching

My teaching interests are in political science, rational choice theory and Labour Party politics.
