Expert
I have been working as an academic since 2008, chiefly in the areas of conservation and development and climate change and development. Following my PhD, a comparative study which took me to Namibia and Argentina, I worked in the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, at the University of Oxford, for two years. Subsequently, I became a Research Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies, before joining SOAS, University of London in 2013, where I remain now.
