Position | Sessional lecturer |
Organisation/Company | University of Queensland |
Specialisations / Bio | Simon is currently undertaking PhD studies into the political economy of China’s local government debt. He is also keenly focussed on UK, Australian, and Queensland politics; especially the psephology of the latter. Simon’s teaching and research interests draw a range of experience: as a journalist, a ministerial staffer, consultant and – perhaps most formatively – his time spent studying political economy at both the University of Sydney and the University of Queensland. Projects Simon provided media commentary on the Vote Compass project. Also, drawing on his experience as a journalist, media advisor, and knowledge of Queensland politics, he was instrumental in the preparation of analysis and “talking points” with respect to various Vote Compass reports delivered to the academic panel during the Queensland election campaign. |
