I work in the Department of Social and Policy Science in the University of Bath (UK). My expertise is in comparative social policy analysis and the political economy of welfare and its governance, both nationally and trans-nationally. I have been conducting research and have published extensively on conceptual and empirical aspects of familistic welfare regimes, especially on the socio-political impact of austerity measures following the sovereign debt crisis in Southern Europe, as well as in East/South East Asia and South America. My current research focuses on how the role of the family as a collective socio-economic actor is institutionalized in the political economy of welfare. I am an Executive Board Member (elected) of the Social Policy Association (UK), Editorial Board Member (elected) of the 'Journal of Social Policy', Scientific Advisory Board Member of the Scientific Review 'Social Cohesion and Development', Scientific Committee Member of the 'Greek Review of Social Research'.

I received my Ph.D. in economics on the topic “Movements in the Terms of Trade of Primary Commodities vis-à-vis Manufactured Goods: A Theoretical and Empirical Study” from the CESP, JNU, New Delhi. I have published on a variety of progressive economic policy issues, especially in the areas of international terms of trade, food security, employment impacts of clean, renewable energy and the right to energy. My current research focuses on reducing the increasing global inequality within the borders and beyond borders of the nations as well as mitigating the threats of climate change, especially in the developing countries like India, by using sustainable development goals as policy insturments. My passion is to use knowledge in such a way as to make an eventual change in society for the betterment of humankind.
