I am a Senior Lecturer in Economics at the Queen's University Belfast, director of the Centre for HeAlth Research at the Management School (CHARMS) and fellow of the Queen's University Centre for Economic History (QUCEH), Institute of Labour Economics (IZA) and Global Labor Organization (GLO).

Fertility and Gender Norms

Slavery and Disenfranchisement in the US
Institutions and Economics Growth
