My PhD was on racial inequality in South Africa during the Apartheid period. It was published by Routledge as 'Race, Class and the Changing Division of Labour Under Apartheid' https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203440377.

My research addresses debates about occupational and earnings inequality in cities and how it relates to both racial inequality and the geography of inequality. Here is a selection of publications:
