Hi I'm Freddie, a student in PPE at Durham University with particular interests in British Political history and the development of its constitution.
I am excited to express this in my research project, focusing on the impact of formalised political parties on voter behaviour, specifically choice and participation. Whilst contributing to the development of an existing dataset containing parliamentary election data from 1832 onwards, I am aiming to perform data-driven alaysis to evaluate Britain's shift from a candidate-based political tradition towards the dominance of party labels.
Outside of my studies, I am a keen church bellringer, an avid reader, and enjoy exploring new places.
Hello! I am a first year undergraduate student at Durham University studying Modern European Languages and Cultures, including advanced Spanish and ab initio Italian.
I believe that the intersection between languages and culture, politics and peacebuilding is hugely important in a multicultural but increasingly divided world. I am therefore passionate about using my skills for good, especially through my research project into ethical and compassionate immigration policy.
I'm really excited to work alongside the 2026 scholars!
