Hi everyone,
I am a first year PhD student at Cambridge University. My research focuses
on the relationship between welfare reform and social exclusion in US and UK
cities. Specifically I will be examining the impact of welfare-to-work
programmes on Lone Parents in inner cities within depressed labour markets.
My case study cities are Sheffield in the UK and Buffalo in New York State
in the US.
I’m hoping to assess whether programmes are likely to lead to a short term
impact on social exclusion through entry into insecure employment, or to a
more sustainable end to social exclusion through high quality education,
training and skills development.
I would situate myself more broadly as an Economic/Urban/Feminist-Socialist
Geographer.
Thanks for reading,
Jo
