Biography
I am a Research Officer at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention and the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School. Previously I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Sociology.
My research focuses on the causes and consequences of socio-economic inequality, particularly inequality in health and education, and on the transmission of socio-economic advantage across generations.
My work at INET is funded by the European Research Council as part of the Distributional National Accounts project.
