About
My research is situated at the intersection of economic history, labour economics, and sociology. I am mainly interested the economics of labour mobility, specifically occupational, geographic, and intergenerational mobility. My PhD dissertation used census-linked datasets, created from digitised full-count decennial censuses of England and Wales between 1851 and 1911, to estimate occupational mobility in Victorian and Edwardian England. My dissertation can be found at: http://dx.doi.org/10.21953/lse.00004812, and part of the dissertation which revised estimates of intergenerational mobility in England from 1851 to 1911 is published in the Journal of Economic History (https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022050724000391). I am currently exploring the effects of the First World War on occupational mobility in England.
I am currently teaching EH237 Theories and Methods in Economic History and EH4A1 Historical Analysis of Economic Change.
