She co-leads the Labour and Household Economics Research Cluster and the Sports Economics Research Cluster, and her work often intersects with policy-relevant areas like creative industries and migration studies.
Her teaching responsibilities include modules on Labour Economics and Microeconometrics, emphasizing applied research methodologies. Notable projects include the Nuffield Foundation-funded 'Accommodating Diversity in the Workplace' initiative and studies on the UK gender pay gap, creative graduate outcomes, and menopause-related labour market decisions.
Jewell’s research clusters explore topics such as human capital acquisition, preferences influencing labour decisions, and cricket-based economic analyses. She has collaborated on studies about sex work policy, breastfeeding decisions, and life satisfaction linked to lifestyle choices. Her work frequently appears in journals like the British Journal of Industrial Relations and Feminist Economics.
She advises on econometric techniques for PhD students and contributes to debates around statistical significance in economic research. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges labour economics, gender studies, and sports analytics, maintaining a focus on empirical rigor and real-world policy implications.
