Research / Scholarly interests

Emma’s research examines two related issues: (1) how people understand and orient towards issues like foreign policy and military intervention, and (2) political participation, citizenship, and social change. She has investigated these priorities with reference to a diverse range of issues, e.g., Brexit, drone warfare, and, most recently, Covid-19 mutual aid groups. She frequently draws upon social representations theory in her research, and takes a pragmatic approach to method, which has meant the adoption of diverse methods, including interviews, automatic text analysis, and multi-level modelling.
