My research examines women's employment across industrialised countries, particularly among female-headed households and how social policies reduce or potentially increase gender inequalities in paid work. Currently, I'm working on my New Investigator Grant funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.
My research has been published in 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.
