School of Social and Political Science

Profile

Marc Geddes' research is about the role of parliaments and their place in democratic politics. Specifically, Marc explores how politicians interpret and enact their role, especially with respect to scrutinising government, and how this affects democratic politics. Further, Marc examines the role of knowledge claims in politics, especially how their use affects evidence-informed policy-making, and the way we can effectively study political phenomena, particularly engaging with debates on interpretive political science.
