At the University of Cambridge I am paper convenor and module lecturer of SOC3 (Global Social Problems and Dynamics of Resistance). I also contribute to SOC5 (Quantitative Research Methods) and convene a Cambridge Research Methods (CaRM) course on “Digital and Online Methods”. I teach about contemporary issues (e.g., inequality, social status, insecurity, globalisation’s winners vs globalisation’s losers) and research methods.
