I am a Professor of Global Development and Accountability at the Essex Business School. My research has moved away from arbitrary disciplinary constraints towards an interdisciplinary learning process to understand the global challenges, particularly in developing/emerging country contexts. Over the years, the research aims to understand, theorize and tackle the problems created by the uneven relationships between business, society and economy in an interdisciplinary framework. I have extensively worked in finance and development and microfinance. Currently, I am working on Fintech, financial inclusion, climate change and sustainability.

I am a lecturer in Sustainability and Business Ethics at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK. My research aims to explore the role of sustainability in socio-economic development and responsible business management. I have a very strong interest in social innovation and the role of institutions in addressing gender, poverty and other forms of structural inequalities with a particular focus on Sub-Saharan Africa. In the summer of 2021, I led a collaborative team of researchers from Royal Holloway, University of London, Makerere University Business School and Makerere Lung Institute, and, we conducted research on the indirect impacts of COVID-19 on healthcare professionals in Uganda. I am very keen to contribute to policy debates that focus on inclusiveness whilst addressing pressing challenges facing society without compromising on ethical issues.

I have been involved in several interdisciplinary research projects on the management and governance of climate change. I have also studied the management of the first phases of Covid-19 in Italy and new forms of digital vulnerability in times of pandemic. I have also investigated digital inequalities in the UK, and I am currently investigating environmental awareness and digital experience. I am exploring the Bourdieusian concept of habitus in relation to the combination of technological competencies, environmental awareness and existing socio-economic-cultural backgrounds. This research interest comes from my background in both sociology and media and communication. My first PhD focused on sociology, whilst the second PhD research explores media construction of climate change narratives.

Short description: 
I am a historian of late twentieth century Britain (broadly conceived) specialising in anti-racist activism, social movements, students and youth, immigration and decolonisation. My research interests lie in the intersection between education, technologies, and civic engagement for social justice and inclusion. In the last 15 years, I have researched how educational decision-making processes and how educational institutions foster young people's empowerment to participate in social, scientific, and political issues through technologies. In the past 4 years, I have been working on implementing the inclusive and diversity frameworks to foster equity in education (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, social class, neurodiversity, etc.), including anti-racist technologic design.
