Albert Ward

I’m a political scientist and writer. I study public opinion, identity and political geography. I’m especially interested in big questions about where we live, such as why people feel at home in some places and not others, and how our neighbourhoods shape how we vote.

My current projects look at the political divide between cities and the countryside, voting rights, and what voters want from political candidates. I also work on polarisation, public opinion on climate change, and survey science (designing questions and samples as accurately as possible).

I’m curently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Politics at the University of Cambridge. Before that I did my PhD at Oxford and taught at Jesus College and Hertford College. I’ve also been a visiting fellow at Harvard, an elections analyst for the BBC, and a Senior Fellow at the polling company More in Common.

You can find examples of my work in _pages/research.md and _pages/repositories.md.
