My research examines women’s employment across industrialised countries and how social policies reduce or potentially increase gender inequalities in paid work. I currently hold a BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grant for a project looking at older women’s labour market experiences and have recently completed a New Investigator Grant funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.
My research has been published in European Sociological Review, 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.
