I am a Principal Teaching Fellow (Associate Professor) at the University of Southampton, U.K. from where I hold a PhD in Economics. I have been a part of the Department of Economics as a member of staff since 2016.
My research is in experimental and behavioural economics, with a focus on education. My earlier work examined how we elicit time and risk preferences. I have since applied experimental and quasi-experimental methods to education, testing the impact of interventions on student outcomes. My current work asks the same measurement questions of economics education research itself, shifting my focus to meta questions, largely through a number of national and international collaborations.
This concern with how we evidence educational choices also shapes my training work: I co-founded the SWEETS Summer School on experimental methods for scholarship research, for colleagues on education-focused pathways.
I hold the position of Director of Undergraduate Programmes (single honours) in the Department of Economics at Southampton where I lead on Student Voice and NSS strategy, and have previoulsy held the role of Chair of the Athena Swan Committee in the School for Economic, Social and Political Sciences at Southampton where I led the successful Bronze renewal submission for the School in 2023.
I hold Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA). I am a founding member of the SouthWest Economics Education, Teaching and Scholarship (SWEETS) network. I am a steering group member of the Centre for Behavioural Experimental Action and Research (C-BEAR) as well as the co-director of the Social Sciences Experimental Lab at Southampton. I am also a member of the Review Committee for the Economic Education Network for Experiments (EENE).
