I'm a social scientist based at Lancaster University (UK). My interests lie in inequalities over the human life-course and geographical contexts. I study child welfare inequalities and ageing and how social policy relates to challenges around this, mainly by using large-scale population data and statistics. I also have an interest in social attitudes, inclusiveness and othering, which I analysed in the context of religious inclusion in Europe.
