I am a Human Geography lecturer at Coventry with a focus on development geography, teaching across a range of modules on the BA Geography course. My academic background includes an undergraduate degree in Human Geography, an MSc in International Development and a PhD in Development Geography, while professionally I have undertaken employment as a research assistant, teaching associate and assistant lecture. I have taught undergraduate and masters students and conducted both qualitative and quantitative research associated with issues experienced by disadvantaged populations in developing countries.
At Coventry University, I teach on undergraduate modules including Development, Culture and Change and People and Place, and the International Fieldwork visit to The Gambia. I have experience delivering lectures and running seminars and workshops on many subdisciplines within geography including urban, social, political, financial and environmental geography. In addition, I act as a dissertation supervisor and personal tutor to a number of students on this course.
I have significant international fieldwork experience, predominantly in sub-Saharan Africa. My PhD, which explored access to microfinance as a means of increasing income for people with physical disabilities, was based in Kampala, Uganda. In my time employed as a research assistant, I worked in Tanzania and Nepal, examining biogas plant adoption and abandonment trends. I also have experience conducting research in Ghana and Kenya.
My research is published in academic journals such as Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Development in Practice and Energy Policy. I have presented my research at both the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) Annual International Conference in London and the American Association of Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
