My research focuses on Central and Eastern Europe, with particular attention given to Romania and Germany. Primarily, my work is on populism and the politics of healthcare, but I also look at political extremism and conspiracy in both contemporary and historical settings. My research draws from across the Social Sciences, with a preference for approaches from history and political sociology.

At postgraduate research level, my work is analysing medical populism in relation to Romania in the years post-Colectiv (2015 - ). This focuses on how political actors have exploited public fear and discontent about healthcare in order to advance political goals, including through the use of conspiracies such as in the example of the COVID-19 Pandemic. 

I take a qualitative approach to research, with significant interest in discourse based approaches such as thematic analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis.
