Dr Lisa Buckner
Senior Research Fellow
I joined the university as a Senior Research Fellow in January 2006. My specialist area is the analysis of large and complex data sets, and the use of official statistics and surveys for policy-applied research.
Before coming to Leeds, I was at the Centre for Social Inclusion and CRESR, Sheffield Hallam University. I have previously worked as a local government demographer and in the Census Division at the Office for National Statistics.
Research Interests
My areas of interest are policy-applied research on gender, employment, caring and equality at the local level, in particular the following areas.
- Poverty and people on the margins of the labour market
- Balancing paid employment and unpaid care
- 'Working below potential'
- Labour market outcomes and ethnicity
Teaching
My teaching interests are quantitative methods and official statistics and its use for policy-applied research. I teach on the undergraduate and postgraduate research methods courses.
PhD Supervision
I am keen to supervise students in a range of areas, including quantitative research on gender, ethnicity and the local labour market, and the provision of unpaid care and employment.
