Research areas
I am a critical sociologist interested in social responses to patterns of poverty, which I understand as being counter-movements to the creative destruction of market processes. The key focus in my studies has been the politics, institutions and practices of international development in the UK, understood as one response. I teach on NGOs and social enterprises.
