Research Interests
Dr. Wilson is currently interested in economic history of Great Britain’s Poor Laws.  She is also interested in health economics, particularly retail pharmacy.

Personal Interest
Dr. Wilson has two active boys that keep her happily exhausted.  She knows she couldn’t manage working and raising a family if it were not for her amazing husband, Chad, who works as a worship pastor at Fellowship Christian.  She is also very fortunate to have a retired mom who helps take care of the boys when she is at work!
