Teaching & Research

Teaching

I currently convene NS5315 Global Health and NS6310 Global Ageing. I also deliver quantitative research methods training and supervise student research projects.

Research

My research interests include migration, wellbeing, ageing, families and employment. My primary geographical focus is sub-Saharan Africa, but I have also been involved in research on European and Central Asian countries. Much of my work involves the application of advanced quantitative methods to secondary data sources, particularly longitudinal surveys.
