Sara is an Associate Editor for the Review of Social Economy. She has published in peer reviewed journals, such as Feminist Economics, the Cambridge Journal of Economics, Review of International Political Economy, World Development and the Journal of Development Studies.

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.
