Personal profile
Research overview
I am a critical sociologist interested in social responses to patterns of poverty, which I understand as being counter-movements to the creative destruction of market processes. The key focus in my studies has been the politics, institutions and practices of international development in the UK, understood as one response. I teach on NGOs and social enterprises.
Other expertise
I have worked in the international development sector since 2004, working across a number of conflict and post-conflict states. I have worked as an evaluator, particularly for adaptive and governance projects.
