ABOUT

Research Overview
I am a scholar of critical IR interested in issues of inequality - its roots and paths to overcome it - with a focus on South Africa and Brazil.

Currently, my primary research is on South Africa, focusing on the city of Johannesburg as described by its residents to discuss land and reparations in and beyond the country. I also volunteer as a researcher in the Latin American Women's Rights Service (LAWRS) in the UK, looking at labour exploitation and migration.
