Dr Jack Price is a Research Associate at the Wales Centre for Public Policy (WCPP), having joined the team as a Research Officer in July 2019.
Jack’s work for the Centre has largely focused on the Environment & Net Zero and Tackling Inequalities priority areas with a focus on decarbonisation; just transitions; and education and skills. He is particularly interested in taking a longer-term view of policy change and understanding the second-order effects of policy decisions. Jack’s other work for the Centre includes projects on race equality and diversity; preventing youth homelessness; and the impacts of Brexit on trade, among others.
Projects he has worked on have provided supporting evidence for Welsh Government policymaking including understanding how the Well-being of Future Generations Act can be used to enable a just transition to net zero and informing its approach to lifelong learning in the context of the Tertiary Education and Research Act.
He holds a PhD in Philosophy on the work of Theodor W. Adorno; an MA in Analytic and Modern European Philosophy; and a BA(Hons) in History of Ideas and Philosophy, all from Cardiff University. His PhD thesis was funded by the AHRC SWW-DTP and co-supervised by Dr Andrew Edgar and Dr Peter Sedgwick (Cardiff University) and Professor Christine Hauskeller (University of Exeter). Jack is an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
