Louise's research focuses on the historical and philosophical foundations of economics.
I joined the Institute of Management Studies in 2019 as a doctoral researcher in economics. My research focuses on the history of consumption at the intersection of the history of economics and intellectual history. It studies the emergence of discourses on consumption in the 19th century and how it eventually led to the neoliberal paradigm shift in the 20th century. It highlights how consumption gained autonomy as a category of analysis separated from production, paralleling the division between the private and public spheres.
I am a Lecturer in Economics. I am co-convening the module of History of Economic Ideas. I also teach in the areas of Microeconomics, Economic History and Introduction to Economics.
