Biography
I work in the Department of Development Studies at SOAS University of London, where I am a co-investigator on a four-year Global Challenges Research Fund project entitled Drugs and (dis)order: Building Sustainable Peacetime Economies in the Aftermath of War, which focuses on Afghanistan, Colombia and Myanmar.
My research explores the political economy of violence, conflict and development, and engages specifically with the relationship between drugs and processes of state-building and peace-building, with a primary focus on Myanmar's borderlands with China and Thailand. I have also conducted research for the UK Government Stabilisation Unit, the World Bank, Conciliation Resources and Christian Aid.
My 2011 Churchill Fellowship explored the water and sanitation sector in Myanmar. It sought to assist NGOs and donors in Myanmar to improve how they operate in order to ensure that programmes designed to improve access to water and sanitation are sustainable.
