I joined PAIS as a Teaching Fellow in August 2021, soon after completing a PhD thesis on Latin American politics at the University of York.

My current research is on the opposition to populism - or anti-populism. I look at the different ways anti-populism is manifested: through discourses that delegitimize populism and the 'people' as a political category and through policies that mean to 'repair' politics and society after a populist era. I am also interested in actors who adopt a more accommodative position to prevent the rise or further expansion of populism.

In addition to anti-populism, I have a genuine interest in cultural policy, especially in the Latin American region. My research has been featured in the International Journal of Cultural Policy, The British Journal of Politics and International Relations and Social Movement Studies. At PAIS, I taught the following modules:

- Examining Rising Powers

- Latin America: Democratisation and Development

- Comparing Rising Powers

- International Relations of the Americas

- Political Theory from Hobbes

- Issues in Political Theory

- Politics in the UK
