Sarah L. Winton

I am on the 2025-2026 academic job market.

I study how forced displacement and migration reshape livelihoods. My job market paper studies the aggregate and distributional labor market impacts of extending the right to work to Syrian refugees in Jordan. I predominantly work in the Middle East.

Prior to the LSE, I worked as a pre-doctoral research assistant at Harvard University. I also worked at UNHCR Jordan under a Fulbright research grant. I received my BA in economics from the University of Pennsylvania.
