Kevin Fahey is an Assistant Professor in Politics in the School of Politics and International Studies at the University of Nottingham, and leads data science training in the Rights Lab. He is interested in applying quantitative research methods to substantive questions, and has ongoing interdisciplinary work in criminology, psychology, and public administration. His substantive research interests focus on legislative institutions, exploring in particular the effects of institutions and institutional reforms on the behavior of political elites. His additional research interests focus on the political consequences of conscription and the electoral success of women legislators. In 2023-24, he is leading "Learn Data Science in 10 Weeks" for early career researchers in the Rights Lab, a 10-week training where participants learn how to systematically collect, clean, "wrangle," manage, and visualise large volumes of qualitative or quantitative data.
