Bio & CV
I am a Lecturer in International Studies in the Department of European & International Studies at King’s College London and a former Senior Researcher (Postdoctoral Fellow) at the Universität Kassel, Germany and the Sassoon Visiting Fellow in South Asian and Black History at the University of Oxford. I currently serve as co-convenor (2020–22) of the Colonial, Postcolonial and Decolonial working group of the British International Studies Association (BISA). I am also a founding member of the Race and Development working group and the Caribbean Political Economy Group (C-PEG). You can visit our launch events at the 2021 Development Studies Association Annual Conference here and information on the C-PEG webinar series here.
My central research interests concern the political economy of the global South, non-western intellectual history, and critical/antiracist methodologies of knowledge production. My current book project chronicles the intellectual and political histories of ‘creole elites’ within the Fabian Colonial Bureau and their impact on global economic governance. For more on my research interests, see my interview with E-International Relations.
I have published in Millennium and I recently co-edited the 100th Anniversary Special Issue for International Affairs with Jasmine K Gani. To read the open-access introduction of the Special Issue, please click here. I am currently writing two papers: “Decolonising development through/alongside the plantation” and “Can the African govern? Development theory in the making of subjects and the disavowal of citizenship”. The latter forms part of my discussion on the roundtable hosted by University of Warwick and SOAS, University of London entitled, Is Development a Racist Discipline?
