My research analyses how girls and young women negotiate girl power discourses in international development. I have published articles in the British Journal of Politics and International Relations, Girlhood Studies and Gender and Development. My work focuses on contrasting how girls are depicted in media and development discourses with girls' own interpretations of what empowerment means to them. This has included conducting media and policy analysis as well as focus groups with girls in the UK, US and Malawi. My research interests reflect my background both in youth work and the charity sector, including four years working at the British Red Cross. I am also on the editorial board of E-International Relations, the world's leading open access website for students and scholars of international politics.
