I am interested in analytical frameworks that enable us to question the way things are and allow conversations that lead to ethical engagement with others. I do research on globalization, human rights, gender and development, postcolonial feminisms and critical development theory.

I am interested in analytical frameworks that enable us to question the way things are and allow conversations that lead to ethical engagement with others. I do research on globalization, human rights, gender and development, postcolonial feminisms and critical development theory.

I am a global sociologist whose research links globalization, human rights, postcolonial
feminism and development theory. With a specific focus on women’s rights and empowerment in
sub-Saharan Africa, my work examines the ways in which historical forces and events shape
current political, economic, cultural and social circumstances whilst highlighting the particular
contradictory and paradoxical outcomes they produce at national, global and local levels.
