Research information:

I have many interests in the area of education policy research, including access and barriers to post-secondary education (PSE); student retention, student pathways, and student success while in PSE; skills, skills shortages, and the “new skills agenda” which includes “non-cognitive” or transferable skills; and the measurement of quality and accountability mechanisms. I also work on incomes, income support programs, and related topics in labour and public economics.
