Biography

Matthew joined the Department in 2021. His research approach is at the intersection of conflict studies and comparative politics. His research interests include the moderation and radicalisation of non-state armed groups, how states respond to internal security threats, and how local dynamics shape internal conflicts. He has a particular interest in the cases of Irish Republicanism in Northern Ireland and radical Kurdish groups in Turkey. He is the co-convenor of the Turkish Politics Specialist Group of the Political Studies Association.

Before joining the Department at the University of York, Matthew held positions at the University of Reading, the University of Birmingham, and at the LSE. He completed his PhD at the LSE, his MA at University College Dublin, and his BA at Trinity College, Dublin.
