About me

I am a quantitative sociologist and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI), Stockholm University. 

My research interests centre on the social and political consequences of spatial inequality, understood as the unequal division of opportunities and risks between different localities within a country. I investigate how local occupational structures have evolved over time, and how and why this and other dimensions of spatial inequality shape social stratification in the labour market, intergenerational mobility, inequality beliefs, and political behaviour.

Prior to commencing my PhD at the European University Institute, I worked in education, employment and skills policy in the United Kingdom.
