I came to Victoria University of Wellington in late 2014 on a pathway through first and second degrees at Auckland, a PhD in Canada, a postdoctoral Fellowship at Otago, a year at Massey, two periods at Auckland, one as a Lecturer, one as Professor, with an intervening period at Waikato. After five years working at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, I was very pleased to return to New Zealand. Throughout all this I served as Head of three different Departments, have been the grateful recipient of a James Cook Fellowship, and am a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand. I served on the Planning Committee of the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) for ten years and led the New Zealand Election Study.
