Research Interest

I am a human geographer and member of the Department's Natures, Cultures, Knowledges and the Population, Health and Histories Research Groups. Broadly speaking, I am interested in the events, ideas, and material processes that shape the world around us. I have been drawn to study different issues – famines, colonial rule, and American philanthropy – but a defining theme is the expression of power in the social landscape.
