Ms Megan Ledger
Postgraduate Research Student
Ms Megan Ledger is Postgraduate Research Student within Social Sciences: Social Statistics & Demography at the University of Southampton.
I am a postgraduate researcher in the Division of Social Statistics and Demography in the School of Social Sciences.
I undertook my BSc in Population Sciences, also at the University of Southampton, in 2005 and graduated in 2008.
I then proceeded to do an MSc in Management Sciences within the School of Management at the University of Southampton from 2008-2010. During this time I took a year out, six months for medical reasons and 6 months where I gained experience in social media analysis.
Despite exploring statistics in a management and business context I felt my heart belonged to demography and I started my PhD in 2010. My general area of interest is maternal health but my PhD will focus on cultural barriers to contraceptive use.
