Lecturer, Newcastle University

I am an interdisciplinary social scientist and Lecturer in Public Health within the Population Health Sciences Institute at Newcastle University.

I use advanced quantitative and qualitative methods to address pressing public health policy problems and have written extensively on: the health impacts of international trade, the social determinants of health inequalities, and
on the links between COVID-19, labour markets, and health.

I currently lead a large research project funded by the Norwegian Research Council. This project asks if trade shocks cause health to suffer and investigates which policies could help prevent any potential harms.

I am also an affiliated researcher at the Centre for Global Health Inequalities Research (CHAIN) in Trondheim, Norway, and Chair of the Trade and Health Forum within the American Public Health Association.
