  I completed my PhD in political science, as part of a project on public services in historical and comparative perspective. My dissertation investigated the effect of government partisanship on the development of the mental health care and child welfare services that displaced nineteenth-century insane asylums and orphanages in OECD countries. My areas of expertise and teaching include welfare states, social policy, and public policy processes.
