Profile

I am a Professor of Development Geography with research interests in migration, money and food. My research is interdisciplinary, international and collaborative, and I regularly work with academic colleagues, policy makers and migrant and civic institutions. I work in Southern Africa and in the UK and my research has, thus far, funded by UKRI (ESRC, AHRC, BBSRC, NIHR), the Leverhulme Trust, Canadian Social Science and Humanities Research Council and Friends Provident Foundation.

My current roles are Head of School of Geography, and Director of the Centre for the Study of Migration.

I am a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences.

I am an Elected Representative (Faculty of Humanities and Social Science) on Queen Mary’s Council.
