Curriculum vitae
|
I am a PhD candidate at the
LSE Department of International Development (DESTIN)
and a research associate at the LSE Crisis States Research Centre (CSRC).
I am now back in London after a year's worth of fieldwork, undertaken
between October 2008 and March 2010 in Colombia and the Philippines,
where my PhD project seeks to explore the comparative political economy
of rent-seeking. I am also currently a Teaching Fellow at the School of
Oriental and African Studies (SOAS).
Prior to my life as a PhD student, I
helped run an
NGO, taught
economics
and
development theory, and provided consultancy services to
organisations like the
Development Academy of the Philippines,
OXFAM, the
World Bank and
Risk Asia, Inc.
My current research interests include themes in
the interstices of economics and politics, including: governance and
state-making, the political economy of late development, and food
security and agriculture policy. |
