Teaching

Undergraduate and postgraduate courses

I have been teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students on courses that tend to reflect my research interests and expertise. At the LSE, I teach and manage a third-year BSc course ('Applied Economics of Environment and Development', GY329) and an MSc course ('Economic Development and the Environment', GY473). I also manage and oversee the environmental MSc dissertations (GY489). To date, I have supervised over 100 dissertations.


In 2022-23, I will be on a year-long sabbatical and hence, will not be teaching any of my courses, or taking on any new PhD students.
