THE LONDON REVIEW

Mentorship Programme

Thomas Clarke

Junior Researcher

Interested in political economy and environmental economics, with a focus on public policy, housing and land use.

I am a Junior Researcher at The London Review, where I hope to explore economic questions that interest me and develop my writing through research and analysis.

I am particularly interested in political economy and environmental economics, especially public policy, housing and land use. My interest in these areas has grown through exploring issues such as land taxation and planning policy. I also won the Caius Explore Environment, Law and Economics essay competition, where I investigated “What Drives People to Travel Greener?” by considering the role of infrastructure and government policy in shaping how people travel.

Alongside my studies, I have gained insight into the financial industry through RBC Brewin Dolphin’s Wealth Management programme and Morgan Stanley’s Summer Academy. I am planning to study Economics at university, and through The London Review I hope to explore my interests further while developing my ability to produce thoughtful, nuanced analysis.

Thomas Clarke is a Junior Researcher at The London Review. Our Mentorship Programme helps sixth form students develop their passion for the fields that interest them, guiding them through researching, writing, and publishing their own articles.
