Research Project: Postdoctoral Research Fellowship

Dates: 01 September 2008 - 31 July 2009

The project involves producing a number of reports and publications based on my PhD research, which used qualitative interviews with both BNP and non-BNP voters to understand, in more detail, the dynamics of the party's breakthrough in Burnley.

There is also an emphasis on presenting findings at conferences and seminars, as well as providing me with the opportunity to carry out some limited additional research to develop some of the arguments within the thesis.
