BIO
I started my career writing software, but worked in the Population Studies Group (previously the Centre for Population Studies) at the School from 1980 to 2021. My first degree is in social anthropology and I view myself as a social scientist, although most of my work is in technical demography or quantitative data analysis. I did an MSc in Demography at LSE and completed a PhD at the School on the estimation of adult mortality from data on orphanhood.
I am now Emeritus Professor at the School and also an Honorary Professor at the University of Cape Town.
