I am a Professor of Economics and Head of the School of Politics Economics and International Relations at the University of Reading. I have been at Reading since 1998. Prior to this, I obtained my BA, MPhil and PhD degrees in Economics from the University of Cambridge.
My research has largely related to inequalities, especially by gender. In recent years, I have worked on women’s empowerment and well-being including women’s labour market participation and life satisfaction. Over the last 2 decades, I have also worked on issues relating to childhood inequalities, particularly in relation to child work and schooling participation, inequalities between girls and boys as well as inequalities across social and religious groups. I have published extensively in all these areas.

During the COVID pandemic, I have written about the role played by female leaders in tacking the pandemic and this paper has been picked up by the World Economic Forum and many of the leading newspapers (https://voxeu.org/article/women-leaders-are-better-fighting-pandemic, https://theconversation.com/are-women-leaders-really-doing-better-on-coronavirus-the-data-backs-it-up-144809). During this period, I have also worked on the impact that the pandemic has had on supply chains especially in the pharmaceutical sector (https://theconversation.com/the-whole-idea-of-global-value-chains-will-be-reconsidered-after-coronavirus-137132).
