Emeritus Professor of Politics

I retired in 2003 but remain actively involved in research and writing.   My most recent book - Parliamentary Socialisation: Learning the Ropes or Determining Behaviour? (Palgrave Macmillan), co-authored with Philip Giddings (University of Reading) - was published in August, 2011.   I am continuing to work on the Parliamentary Archive of MPs, 1832-present, partly in co-operation with the History of Parliament Trust, and I have recently completed a book chapter on the parliamentary participation of party leaders.
