I am an interdisciplinary social scientist and Lecturer in Public Health within the Population Health Sciences Institute at Newcastle University.

I use advanced quantitative and qualitative methods to address pressing public health policy problems and have written extensively on: the health impacts of international trade, the social determinants of health inequalities, and the links between labour markets and health.

My work is closely connected to policy and practice, and I collaborate with national and international organisations including the World Health Organization (WHO), the UK National Health Service, and Public Health Wales. I am Chair of the Trade and Health Forum of the American Public Health Association and serve as an editor for Globalization and Health as well as the forthcoming journal Health Politics.
