About
I am a Lecturer in Economics and a member of the Political Economy Research Group (PERG). I have been teaching at Kingston since 2015, and previously worked as Teaching Fellow at SOAS, University of London.
My research interests are Post Keynesian macroeconomics, financialisation, institutional investors (particularly pension funds) and capital markets, social policy, gender and the philosophy of economics. I have worked professionally on pension reform legislation in the UK, and served as a trustee on the Local Government Pension Fund, the largest Defined Benefit scheme in the UK. I hold a Certificate in Retirement Income Provision. I have worked across a broad spectrum of social policy areas in both influencing and decision-making roles.
