I am a postdoctoral researcher at SKOPE, working on the Close the Gap project. Close the Gap is a joint project between the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, with the aim of comprehending and transforming doctoral admissions cultures, systems, and practices. The ultimate aim is to foster a research culture that is more socially and epistemically just, as well as inclusive.
My research focuses on the dynamics of diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education, with a particular interest in exploring social inequalities and exclusions within elite universities. I investigate the reproduction of social class, race/ethnicity, and gender hierarchies and inequalities and their impact on access and success in higher education. My work aims to promote more equitable and inclusive practices within academia.
