I am an early career researcher in a university environment who focuses on policy and governing within local, national and international settings. My research intersects with inclusion through sport mega events and how different governing actors form and enact inclusive policy. Currently, I have a focus on the London 2012 and Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, specifically looking at disability, inclusion and para-sport in Japan and UK policy contexts.

I am researcher interested in gender and how it functions in the structures determining everyday experiences of people. I am based at the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies of the University of Bristol (UK). My work so far has focused on how neoliberal ideas and reforms affect livelihoods of women in East African countries. My first book (Selling Sex in Kenya: Gendered Agency under Neoliberalism, forthcoming in December 2019 CUP) relies of the life stories and narratives of self-identified sex workers in Mombasa (Kenya) to explore gendered socio-economic structures that define opportunities for women in the local economies and women’s agency when negotiating those structures for their own advantage. My research has also been published in peer-reviewed journals Development & Change, Review of African Political Economy, and New Political Economy. My current research is developing in two main areas: (1) gendered effects of new large infrastructure projects of East Africa; (2) informality and gender in food security strategies of the Caribbean states.

I'm a sociologist at the University of Bristol working on issues related to migration, integration, racism, and nationalism in everyday life. From 2019-2021 I'm leading a project called 'Everyday integration in Bristol' where we develop an inclusive, local approach to integration that moves beyond an exclusive focus on immigrants, refugees, and ethnic minorities by instead involving everyone in a shared urban environment.
