School of Social and Political Science

Background

I have conducted research into the history of sociology in Britain, the history of statistics and quantification and the history of science and science popularisation. I have published two books as well as scholarly articles on various historical subjects. In addition to historical research skills, I'm trained in advanced quantitative methods, advanced maths and statistical programming in R. In my latest research project (2025- present), I combine my skills in data analysis and coding with traditional historical approaches in studying science popularisation in eighteenth-century Britain. I currently work at the University of Glasgow, teaching quantitative methods to social science students.
