During my time at Cardiff University I have taught/currently teach on the following modules:

My current research draws on my PhD thesis, which explored the political thought of Aneurin Bevan. I am currently continuing that work by studying the significance of Bevan to Labour Party politics and his legacy today. In addition to this, I am also interested in researching the Labour Party, its political thought and the party's role in Welsh politics.
