About

Dr. Stuart J. Turnbull-Dugarte is an Associate Professor in Quantitative Political Science. He joined the Department of Politics & International Relations in 2020 after gaining a PhD in Political Science from King's College London. He is an Associate Editor at Public Opinion Quarterly and Research & Politics (Behaviour).

His research lies at the intersection of political sociology and comparative politics. Substantively, Stuart is interested in understanding the causes and consequences of far-right party success; how political identities shape electoral action; and the political behaviour of LGBTQ+ individuals and how the political preferences of this social strata diverge from those of cis-gender heterosexual peers.

Dr. Turnbull-Dugarte's research has been published in leading journals including, amongst others, the American Political Science Review, the British Journal of Political Science, the European Journal of Political Research, the Journal of European Public Policy, Journal of Politics, and Political Science Research & Methods.

With the generous funding of the Leverhulme Trust, Stuart recently completed a book project. The Rainbow Vote will be published with Princeton University Press in Febraury 2027. His first book - VOX: The Rise of the Spanish Radical Right (2020)- was published with Routldege in their Extremism and Democracy Series. 

Methodologically, Dr. Turnbull-Dugarte tends to apply experimental and quasi-experimental designs in his research. He leads instruction in quantitative research methods, including causal inference, at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. 

In addition to engaging in research and teaching, Dr. Turnbull-Dugarte also provides consultancy in data science and research for actors in both the public and private sector. He recently co-authored recommendations for the Welsh Government on the introduction of the single transferable vote (STV) in local elections and has also led the design and delivery of randomised control trials in electoral campaigns for political party and non-partisan organisations.
