I am a lecturer in International Conflict Analysis, based in the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent. My work is mainly focused upon centered upon third-party mediation within civil war, though more generally my research interests include intra- and inter-state conflict, mediation, negotiation, bargaining theory and forecasting.
I am on the council of the British Conflict Research Society and deputy director of the Conflict Analysis Research Centre in Kent (CARC).
I also have an active interest in the development of innovative teaching methods, in particular the use of simulation / role-play exercises. In 2011 I was awarded the British International Studies Association award for teaching excellence and the University of Kent faculty-teaching prize for my work in this area.
In addition to my academic teaching I am involved in practical negotiation skill training to students and professionals. I have taught negotiation skills in a number of locations across Europe, most recently at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property in Rome.
Within the school of politics and international relations at the University of Kent I am also responsible for student employability and alumni development.
