Labour economics has strong theoretical foundations whilst modern labour economics is very applied in nature and this shapes the way I teach labour economics. I teach a number of topics that relate to my research interests including: human capital, gender differences in the labour market, migration and labour market mismatches. Part of my teaching philosophy includes students learning by doing, in particular through applied work and as part of my labour economics module, students undertake an applied project on the gender pay gap in the UK. If you are interested in gender differences and the labour market, see the following review articles:
