I am a professor of Sociology, with an emphasis on religion and society. My main interests are in religious change and the impact of religion on social attitudes and behaviour. I am also interested in the relationship between insecurity and religious identity. The majority of my work uses quantitative research methods with large scale survey data, and I have taught methods courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. I recently worked on a large EU-funded international project about inequality and youth radicalisation, and completed a three year British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship researching the relationship between financial insecurity and religion in Europe. I started working at MF in December 2022, and was previously a lecturer at the University of Birmingham and research fellow at the University of Manchester. I teach foundational social scientific theory and methods, as well as more specialised courses in sociology of religion. I am Chair of the Department of Education, Religion and Society, and programme lead for BA Society, Politics and Religion.
