My first degree was in geography. I was then a PhD student in the Department of Geography at the University of Sheffield, where I obtained my PhD in 1985. I subsequently spent two years as a temporary lecturer at Oxford University before moving to the Centre for Population Studies at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. After a brief spell as a research fellow in the Department of Economics at Birkbeck College, London, I moved to Southampton in 1989, and I have been here ever since.

Research Interests
My research interests fall into two areas:
- various aspects of the demography of developing countries, especially recent fertility changes (though in the years from 2010 onwards I mainly participate in this research through editorial work on journals and the supervision of PhD students)
- historical demography of England between (about) 1800 and 1950.
I also supervise or co-supervise three PhD students. I am the postgraduate research students' coordinator. I am the University of Southampton's representative on the Scientific Board of the European PhD in socioeconomic and statistical studies. I am currently a member of the Scientific Review Board of the online journal Demographic Research, a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Biosocial Science, and a member of the editorial board of the journal Local Population Studies.
Research grants
I was co-investigator on the ESRC-funded research project 'The health and morbidity of friendly society members in the late 19th and 20th centuries', March 2007 - May 2009 (principal investigator Professor Bernard Harris, Division of Sociology & Social Policy, other co-investigator Dr Martin Gorsky, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine).

- analysis of sickness and mortality in Britain, 1850–1950 using Friendly Society data
- writing a book entitled What is Population History? to be published by Polity Press
