Lecturer in Data and Education

Biography

Background

I am a lecturer in Data and Education at the Centre for Research in Digital Education. I am a Sociologist with a broad interest in social stratification and its relationship with education. Specifically, I use large datasets to examine the effect of education policies in South America and the United Kingdom on educational and social inequalities. 

Currently, I am examining access to postgraduate research programmes in the UK and investigating differences in the labour market outcomes for doctoral graduates from UK higher education institutions who stayed in the UK and doctoral graduates who moved abroad six months after graduation.
