ABOUT ME

I am an Associate Professor in Social Demography in the Department of Sociology at the University of Oxford, and a Tutorial Fellow in Human Sciences at St John’s College. I am also an Affiliate Member at the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science and an Affiliate Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research.

My research lies in the areas of demography, sociology, international development, and social policy. My latest studies focus on the relationship between social and economic inequality and fertility change, the variation and gender differences in family formation and the consequences of policy changes for health and families. I have recently received an ERC Starting Grant for my project “Diverging patterns of reproductive behavior within countries across the globe”.
