Dr Junius Olivier

Dr Olivier is a proud native of Saint Lucia, his academic journey has been both profound and enriching. He embarked on this path at the University of the West Indies, where he pursued undergraduate and master's degrees in economics, laying a solid foundation for his future endeavours. His passion for understanding the challenges of economic development led him to the University of York, where he earned his PhD.  His research there delved into the colonial origins of economic underperformance in post-colonial countries of the former British West Indies, a topic that not only stimulated his intellectual curiosity but also held deep personal significance. Upon completing his PhD, he joined the London School of Economics as an Undergraduate Tutor, a role that allowed him to share his knowledge and insights with the next generation of economists.  His journey has now brought him to an exciting new chapter at Homerton College, where he will serve as the Deputy Senior Tutor.  Here, he is eager to contribute to the academic and personal growth of our students, drawing on his rich background and experiences to inspire and guide them in their own pursuits.
