Biography
I am a behavioural and data scientist, visiting professor of social inequities at Loughborough University, and visiting scholar at the University of Oxford. I am the author of four widely acclaimed popular science non-fiction books on gender bias, racial inequities and reproductive justice. I have also written for The Guardian, New Scientist, Scientific American, Crikey News, The Independent, Prospect, and Forbes, amongst others.
I am a highly sought-after speaker with a strong media profile, and some of my recent invited talks include the Sydney Opera House, Metropolitan Police, British Museum, the Royal Society, Google, International Slavery Museum (Liverpool), United Nations, The King Center (The Center for Nonviolent Social Change), and the Museum of Science in Boston.
I am also the founder of a research think-tank, The 50 Percent Project, which examines gender and racial inequities around the world. I am a Fellow of both the Royal Society of Arts and the Royal Geographical Society and have been awarded a British Library Eccles Centre Fellowship and a Fulbright Scholar Award.
Through the Churchill Fellowship, I hope to continue my work in investigating racial and gender bias in education and the impact it has on children.
