Research England Fellow, UCL

An expert in academic-Parliament knowledge exchange, Rob was founder of the SOAS Influencing Corridors of Power project and numerous other initiatives to support Parliament with independent academic research. He previously held an ESRC Post-Doc Fellowship that enabled him to carry out corpus analysis of the British parliamentary record and to identify significant legislative changes that had been overlooked in our understanding of the emergence of a post-Enlightenment rationality. Currently employed at UCL as a Fellow by the Research England Policy Support Fund, he is developing a blueprint for academic-Parliament knowledge exchange.

His corpus analysis of the parliamentary record has informed two single authored books, The Emergence of 'Extremism' (Bloomsbury 2021) and Love and the Market (Bristol University Press 2024), and 5 peer reviewed journal articles.

He is a former teacher and Shinrin-Yoku guide @ www.integratedmindscapes.co.uk.
