Room 603, 6th Floor Otago Business School

I’ve spent more than 20 years teaching at various tertiary and secondary education institutions in South Africa and New Zealand. From a teaching perspective, I specialise in the teaching of undergraduate Economics, predominantly at the principles and intermediate levels. From a research perspective, I’m interested in applied econometric work and educational research. For example, I’m currently looking at the impact of linguistic diversity and various other factors on educational outcomes of English Language Learners.
