Biography

I am a lecturer in Education and member of the Centre for Research on Education and Social Justice. I joined the department in Spring 2022.

My research falls at the intersection between education, sociology, and political science. I study the relationship between education and economic inequalities, with particular interests in the role of geography in shaping educational inequalities, and the consequences of school reforms for political attitudes. I use primarily quantitative methods, working with a wide range of survey, census, and administrative data.

From Autumn 2022, I will be teaching on undergraduate (BA) and postgraduate (MA) research methods papers.

Before joining York, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. In this role I worked on an ERC funded project - SchoolPol - The Transformation of Post War Education: Causes & Effects. I have a PhD in Sociology from the London School of Economics (2019), where I wrote my dissertation on how economic advantage shapes stigmatising stereotypes about welfare recipients. Prior to this I completed an MSc in Sociology from LSE, and a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Oxford.
