Publications
My research examines how finance, gender and the politics of development intersect — drawing on long-term fieldwork to study the everyday labour, narratives and regulatory politics that shape financial systems, particularly in the Global South. Below are my peer-reviewed publications, alongside writing for public and policy audiences. A full, regularly updated list is also available on my Google Scholar.
