Research interests
My research is at the intersection of International Relations, Security Studies, Energy Studies and Learning and Teaching. There are three main questions which animate my work:
- Why (should) people learn about Politics and International Relations?
- Why do some political concerns come to be regarded as security problems and what are the political effects of this 'securitisation' of politics and policy?
- How can we accelerate a global energy transition while ensuring both justice and security?

Supervision
I am interested in supervising PhD students in the broad areas of International Relations, Security Studies, Energy Studies and Learning and Teaching. I am particularly interested in projects in the following areas:
Learning and Teaching of Politics and International Relations
- Teaching as a form of knowledge (re)production
- Examinations of learning and teaching practice within Politics and IR courses and programmes
- Political literacy and the figure of the 'active and informed citizen'
Energy Security
- Role of discourses, perceptions, identities and practices in (de)constructing energy issues as security concerns
- Relationship between energy security and energy justice
- Energy crisis management
Securitisation Theory
- Macro-level effects of (de)securitising multiple issues
- Application of alternative methodological approaches to the study of (de)securitisation
- The securitisation of energy or climate change
Energy Policy and Politics
- Scottish, UK or EU energy and climate policy
- EU relations with producer countries
- International dimensions of the energy transition
