Marta Lorimer

I am a Lecturer in Politics in the School of Law and Politics at Cardiff University. Prior to joining Cardiff University, I was Fellow in European Politics at the London School of Economics and Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Exeter. I have also held visiting positions at Forum MIDEM at TU Dresden and at the Centre d’Etudes Européennes in Sciences Po Paris.

My research has been published in the Journal of European Public Policy, Journal of Common Market Studies, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Nation and Nationalism, Swiss Political Science Review, Comparative European Politics, and East European Politics and Societies. I have authored several book chapters on far right politics in France and co-authored a book on ‘Flexible Europe: Differentiated integration, Fairness and Democracy’ (Bristol University Press, 2022).

My latest book ‘Europe as ideological resource: European integration and far-right legitimation’ (Oxford University Press) has recently come out.

Since 2023, I co-edit the journal Political Research Exchange.

I am a regular contributor to the LSE Europp blog and have written for OpenDemocracy, EuVisions, the LSE Brexit Blog and the CARR Insights blog. I tweet at @_mlorimer.
