Hello! My name is Eleanor Campbell, and I am a 2021 Laidlaw Scholar. I am a student at Columbia University in the City of New York, and I am originally from Raleigh, NC, USA. I major in Economics and am particularly interested in Behavioral Economics.
During my first year with Laidlaw, I worked with Professor Hitendra Wadhwa of the Columbia Business School in developing a leadership fellowship for aspiring young changemakers.
For my Leadership in Action project, I worked with World Vision on a menstrual hygiene management campaign in West Gonja, Ghana.
I graduated from UCL (BSc Economics) and LSE (MSc Economic History Research) and now a PhD student in economic and financial history at Queen’s Business School at Queen's University Belfast, funded by the Centre for Economics, Policy and History. My research focused on the financial crisis and institutions in Asian economies. I'm also interested in industrialization and inequality.
