Welcome. I am Dr Fari Aftab, an economist, researcher, and an educator with extensive experience in academic research, teaching, and public engagement. My work is shaped by a commitment to rigorous scholarship, meaningful enquiry, and the clear communication of ideas to academic, policy, and wider public audiences. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, I examine questions relating to work, well being, inequality, and productivity, with a focus on generating research that is analytically robust, policy relevant, and socially meaningful.
This website offers an overview of my academic profile and professional work. I invite you to explore the Research section for publications and ongoing projects, the Teaching section for my educational experience and approach to learning, and the Blog section for published writing and reflections on research, policy, and contemporary social and economic issues.
