I am an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow (2025-2026) in the Department of Methodology at the London School of Economics (LSE). My research explores how gender norms change, why some resist change, and which methods best capture those dynamics.
More broadly, I am interested in how to measure difficult-to-quantify concepts such as social norms, values, aspirations, or wellbeing, particularly their more intangible dimensions. I also have a strong interest in developing games-based methods using sport, play, and movement for participatory action research.
I am a Visiting Fellow at the Department of International Development and member of the Gender Justice and Wellbeing Economy Programme at the International Inequalities Institute, LSE.
