My research interests are in the areas of political behaviour, media and political communication in the context of European elections and public opinion. Current research project include the EU funded PIREDEU [ 2009 European Parliamentary Elections (www.piredeu.edu)] and the ESRC funded Perceptions of Power. Starting 1 October, I begin coordinating the Marie Curie ITN in Electoral Democracy ELECDEM and follow on twitter @elecdem). I am a member of the Centre for Elections, Media and Parties and the Centre for European Governance (http://www.centres.ex.ac.uk/ceg/).
I have participated in the 5th Framework project on turnout and political communication in systems of multi-level governance (http://www.ucd.ie/dempart/) and in a 6th Framework project examining civic engagement in the EU (http://www.ucd.ie/civicact/). I recently completed work on a project on gender and political engagement funded by the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO).
