An EconoTimes perspective

Senior Lecturer in Social Policy, The University of Edinburgh My research interests and expertise straddle the disciplines of social policy, sociology and public health. For my research I use primarily advanced quantitative analysis methods and longitudinal survey data. Most of my research to date has involved using population cohort study data to understand how children’s health and wellbeing outcomes are socially stratified, and how early experiences or events relate to subsequent outcomes. I have dabbled with topics related to infant feeding and children's eating habits, and my more recent work explores the lives of women and children affected by domestic abuse.
