Email: wendy.olsen@Manchester.ac.uk

Dr. Wendy Olsen is Lecturer in Socio-Economic Research in Institute for Development Policy and Management at University of Manchester.
“My disciplinary background is in development economics and sociology with social statistics. I did a PhD in India using a village level fieldwork method. We now call this triangulation. Interviews showed me things that 'hard data' of the survey-data kind will never reveal. I am also very impressed at how knowing different languages gives me certain insights that couldn't be reached from within an English language context. I am committed to listening at field level whilst also using large data sets, such as the Indian National Sample Survey, to study large-scale structural relations. These relations are historically and institutionally embedded but ever-changing. I hope to meet other SSA researchers and to probe the edges of the SSA theoretical framework”.
