Andrew is a political scientist who researches democratic engagement. His work to date has focused upon the importance of citizens' social identities in shaping how they participate in politics, as well as how political elites engage specific social groups within their election campaigns. He is particularly interested in how social inequalities associated with ethnic and religious minority status produce distinctive forms of political behaviour amongst elites and voters more broadly.
Since September 2023, Andrew has been based at DSPI working as a Postdoctoral Fellow on the Changing Elites project. Before then he was a Research Associate at the University of Sheffield as a part of a European Commission funded project on data-driven election campaigns. He completed his Ph.D. thesis on the political behaviour of British Jews at the University of Manchester in 2021.
Andrew is the Programme Officer of the Elections, Public Opinion & Parties specialist group of the Political Studies Association, and has published articles in Electoral Studies, Political Studies, Politics & Religion and Information, Communication and Society amongst other journals.
