About
Joelle Tasker is an Assistant Lecturer and PhD student in the Department of Government at the University of Essex. Her research focuses on public opinion, political psychology, and survey research, particularly examining ideological inconsistencies in UK politics.
- Education: MSc in Political Science (University of Essex, 2022), BSc in Politics & International Relations (University of Exeter, 2019).
