Supervision

Please note: I am currently not accepting new students for supervision as I am moving institutions in early 2025. I will update this note in early 2025.

I supervise PhD, Masters and Honours theses in the fields of political parties, public attitudes, representation and the quality of democracy. If you are interested in being supervised by me, please contact me with a short synopsis of your project and a short CV.

I currently supervise four PhD students at ANU:

  • Congruence between Citizens and Parliamentarians regarding Australian National Identity (Sofia Kalashnikova), first supervisor and chair.
  • Illiberal Executives and Voter Responses (Bermond Scoggins), associate supervisor.
  • Perceptions of the Pacific Region in Chinese Social Media (Shuo Luan), associate supervisor.
  • Women’s Representation in the Indonesian Parliament (Juniar (Wanda) Laraswanda Umagap), chair.

I have supervised to successful graduation:

  • 2021: Fabian Habersack (University of Salzburg), Dissertation title: A Nativist Zeitgeist? Explaining Party Adaptation to the Success of the Populist Radical Right. Dr Habersack can now be found at the University of Innsbruck.

I have supervised the Honours and Masters students on topics including:

  • China’s use of nationalism for legitimacy.
  • Populism in Latin America; Populism and education in Europe.
  • Student alienation and its relation to the legitimating narratives of the contemporary university
  • The relationship between climate change attitudes and voting behaviour
