Two-time graduate of the London School of Economics, and current PhD student at the University of Cambridge, I am an avid researcher of comparative models of capitalism and how they sculpt the way in which countries deploy varied responses to similar challenges. As part of my doctoral degree, I am uncovering the difference in government and business responses to processes of deindustrialisation, adversely affecting production/manufacturing workers, and how said differences impact the job quality of displaced workers.
