Lecturer in Social Policy, University of Bath

I’m a Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Social Policy at the University of Bath. Currently, I’m working on a New Investigator Grant funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, which looks at the relationship between social policies and women’s employment across advanced economies. Prior to this, I held postdoc positions at the University of Oxford and the University of Southampton, where I also received my PhD in 2018. My research has been published in Work, Employment & Society, Journal of European Social Policy, Journal of Social Policy, and Social Policy & Society and has been featured in the media, such as in The Independent.
