I am a postdoctoral researcher on Theme 3: Innovating Collaborative Governance through Dialogue, Deliberation and Creativity. Through this, I am looking to conduct an experiment testing the ability of various creative methods to psychologically empower participants, as well as producing grey literature on the state of youth empowerment and participation in Wales. This aligns with my broader research interests in political participation and engagement. My PhD research looked to gauge the impact of a gamified forecasting platform – Horse Race Politics – on the engagement of participants.
Outside of Theme 3, I am principally interested in gamification, digital politics and political forecasting. This principally involves the continuation of Horse Race Politics as a standalone research project as I seek to provide new avenues for people to participate. I am producing several pieces on gamification in elections specifically and politics generally, the latter of which will be a book produced by Palgrave.
I am additionally interested in quantitative methods, having organised a Quantitative Methods bootcamp with Dr Kevin Fahey (Nottingham University) and collaborated on several papers into Public Administration, Religion and Political Psychology through my methods contributions.
