BIOGRAPHY

Before taking up his current role as a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow, Mitya lectured on British politics in POLIS, the University of Cambridge, and worked for several years as a researcher in energy and climate change policy at a Westminster think tank. He has also previously taught British politics at the LSE and comparative politics at KCL. Mitya’s research to date has focused on various aspects of environmental politics in Britain and Europe. His current Leverhulme-funded project examines UK government decision-making on climate change since 2008. He recently co-authored the article 'Exploring party change: the professionalisation of the UK’s three Green parties crossing the representation threshold' with Louise Thompson, another MASSOLIT contributor.
