PhD Supervisor: Professor Liam Delaney
Sharon’s research is focused on exploring the relationships between employment status, time structure, time perception and wellbeing. Specifically, she is interested in the extent to which periods of unemployment alter an individual’s time structure and / or various aspects of their perception of time and, if so, what effects these changes have on subjective wellbeing, mental health and intertemporal decision making. Separately, Sharon is also interested in the employee experience and EDI within corporate settings. She has conducted research for LSE’s Inclusion Initiative and is a class teacher (GTA) on the Human Resource Management course in LSE’s Department of Management. Sharon has Master’s degrees from the LSE in both Economics and Behavioral Science, is a Chartered Financial Analyst and an Associate Fellow of Advance HE, and has over 20 years of work experience in economics, governance and operational roles within the financial services industry.
