Overview
I am a PhD candidate in Public Policy (Economics concentration) at Duke University. I study development, labor, and gender. My current research focuses on women's digital access and barriers to women's labor force participation in low-income settings. Prior to the PhD, I worked as a Research Associate at the Sanford School of Public Policy. I hold a M.A in Economics from Duke University and a Joint B.A. in Mathematics and Economics from Western Washington University.
I will be on the 2024-25 job market. You can reach me at kendal.swanson@duke.edu.
