Research interests
Sara’s research explores how gender, class and race relations shape the organisation of paid and unpaid work and the associated well-being outcomes. Contextualising the everyday life of households in the global political economy, she is interested in bridging micro-macro divides and unpacking global-local relations. Sara takes an interdisciplinary approach informed by development economics, feminist political economy and anthropology.
