My research analyses how girls and young women negotiate girl power discourses in international development. I have published articles in the British Journal of Politics and International Relations, Girlhood Studies and Gender and Development. My work focuses on contrasting how girls are depicted in media and development discourses with girls' own interpretations of what empowerment means to them. This has included conducting media and policy analysis as well as focus groups with girls in the UK, US and Malawi. My research interests reflect my background both in youth work and the charity sector, including four years working at the British Red Cross. I am also on the editorial board of E-International Relations, the world's leading open access website for students and scholars of international politics.

As a cosmopolitan scholar, my research focuses on climate change justice and the evaluation of the global political response to climate change. My approach allows me to understand and assess the complexities of state and sub-state responses to climate change and make suggestions for reform that are grounded in both ethical considerations and policy analysis. My teaching experience is extensive, encompassing political theory, global ethics, international relations and global governance. I very much enjoy teaching and consistently receive outstanding feedback from students across year groups. Outside of teaching and research, I take pride in my public engagement and outreach work, which has included teaching Access to Bristol and working with the Cabot Institute in Bristol and the Grantham Institute in Sheffield.

My research intersects with inclusion through sport mega events and how different governing actors form and enact inclusive policy.

I am researcher interested in gender and how it functions in the structures determining everyday experiences of people. I am based at the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies of the University of Bristol (UK). My work so far has focused on how neoliberal ideas and reforms affect livelihoods of women in East African countries. My first book (Selling Sex in Kenya: Gendered Agency under Neoliberalism, forthcoming in December 2019 CUP) relies of the life stories and narratives of self-identified sex workers in Mombasa (Kenya) to explore gendered socio-economic structures that define opportunities for women in the local economies and women’s agency when negotiating those structures for their own advantage. My research has also been published in peer-reviewed journals Development & Change, Review of African Political Economy, and New Political Economy. My current research is developing in two main areas: (1) gendered effects of new large infrastructure projects of East Africa; (2) informality and gender in food security strategies of the Caribbean states.
