Key Research Interests and Expertise

My research interests include the ethnography of development policy and practice, and the impacts of results based management approaches for the working cultures in aid agencies.  

Over the last two years, I have been conducting research around the project as a form and technology in international development. I have been interviewing people across the sector about their interactions with different aspects of the project and its tools. I am particularly interested in the project as a technocratic form of governance, and how this relates to issues of managerialism and accountability with the aid sector.

I am currently writing a paper based on this research, as well as a textbook on the project, to be published by Routledge in 2020
