I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Policy at the London School of Economics. Prior to this, I was a prize research fellow in sociology at Nuffield College, University of Oxford, where I also obtained my DPhil (PhD). I am an associate member at Nuffield College and also affiliated with Young Lives, the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, the International Inequalities Institute, and the LSE Historical Economic Demography.

My research interests include social and educational inequalities, social mobility, sociology of education, and cross-border policy diffusion with a particular (but not exclusive) focus on emerging and developing economies.

I currently serve in my capacity as Associate Editor for European Societies, an editorial board member of Sociology, British Journal of Sociology of Education, and Comparative Education. I am also a Book Series Editor for the World Yearbook of Education. I co-organise the seminar series: Education Policy and Research in International Perspective hosted by the EduHub, LSE Social Policy.
