Hi. I am a researcher and doctoral candidate with a multi-disciplinary approach to finance, development, gender and politics.
I'm a PhD candidate at the Geneva Graduate Institute (IHEID) and visiting fellow at the University of Edinburgh. I'm interested in debt, finance, political movements and gender. My current research project looks at financialisation of credit in rural West Bengal how this changes the Indian State and how gender is produced through financialisation. I use immersive fieldwork to study the state-finance relationship across the 'International', 'national' and 'local' scales in which financial flows are embedded. My research is historically-informed, studying the intersections of finance and gender along a longer, imperial history of co-constitutive state-building and financial capitalism.
Previously, I have worked extensively on political economy constructions of gender in Cameroon and on historically-driven transnational financial flows across Europe. I regularly consult NGOs and research centres on intersecting themes of finance, gender, politics and development.
