Georgina’s research has been funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund, the European Commission, the European Regional Development Fund, the British Academy, Shell, the ESRC and the then UK Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions.

She has taught undergraduate and graduate students at Cambridge, Oxford and Cardiff, and supervised tens of dissertations at all levels. The courses she has taught in the past or currently teaches include transport, environmental and development economics with a focus on public policy, and research methods, both quantitative and qualitative. At Cardiff she was nominated for the ‘Enriching Student Life Award’ in 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2020-21.
