Currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for the Politics of Feelings at Royal Holloway, University of London. (2024-2025).
Previously: PhD, Political Science, at the University of Toronto. (2024).
For those working with Irish (Gaelic) text, I have posted a wordlist of over 20,000 word types to facilitate using (and/or removing) Irish text in your documents. The list and descriptions are on my Github at Irish Language Resources. There is a Google Translate English translation of each word as well, and corpus counts from the Irish Dáil.
My PhD dissertation is now available on the University of Toronto's TSpace repository. See all recent political science dissertations here.
Voting records for the 2019-2024 Parliament are not available in full via The Public Whip (The Public Whip data link), which has all other sessions since 1997. I have manually assembled all the divisions from the 2019-2024 House of Commons from the UK Parliament website. Please contact me if you would like to use this data, with credit.
