Teaching

Methods  

I convened the PG module SO819 Analysis of Quantitative Data - running in Spring terms, and gave the quantitative methods lectures for SO602 Methods of Social Research. I ran several methods workshops in the past years, including Multilevel modelling workshops at the University of Kent (as a part of ESRC DTC training), Tilburg University (as a part of EDACwowe) and University of Hamburg. 

Current

The two main modules I teach on are

• I convene SO544 Gender, Work and Equality - which focuses on why the gender pay gap exists and what we can do about it.

• I also teach a big bulk of the Welfare state theory modules on UG SA503 A Future for the Welfare State? & PG SO872 International Social Policy

In addition to this I give a variety of lectures around gender issues, East Asian welfare state and labour market policies: in UG SO337 Fundamentals of Sociology & PG SO877 Comparative Social Policy
