Dr Lucy Barnes
Biography
I am a Professor in Comparative Politics. I听joined the Department in 2016 from the University Kent, where I听worked as Lecturer in Quantitative Politics. I听studied Political Economy and Government (AM, PhD) at Harvard University, and Philosophy, Politics and Economics (BA) at Oxford. I听have听also held research fellowships at Trinity College, Dublin, and was Prize Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford, where I听remain听an Associate Member.
Research
My research focuses on the politics of economic policymaking in rich, western democracies (including the UK). I am currently working on the UKRI-funded Mental Models in Political Economy project, which seeks to understand how various types of people understand the economy. In other projects, I am interested in examining the interface between political science and political philosophy, the politics of inequality and redistribution, of fiscal policy and government budgets, and the politics of taxation.

Teaching
I am interested in supervising PhD students proposing to study the political preferences or institutions shaping, and shaped by, economic policy and economic outcomes, and especially any projects that may complement the Mental Models in Political Economy project.
