Teaching

At the Department of Work, Employment and Organisation, I teach on several undergraduate and MSc courses and focus on labour, migration, organisational strategies and collective resistance linked to globalised commodity chains and extractive industries. I have supervised PhD and post doctoral studies on south-south migration, pesticide harm, forestry and land reform, labour organisation and gender, and community repsonses to dispoessession and deindustrialisation.  I welcome interest from potential PhD candidates on any of the broad themes of my research.

This project seeks to co-produce an inclusive, interdisciplinary network that strengthens a supportive teaching and research culture, bridges gaps between postgraduate researchers and academic staff across SBS, Engineering, and HASS to address the challenges of navigating academic culture.

This project addresses illegal gold mining and deforestation in Brazil’s Crepori National Forest and the territories of Munduruku and Montanha & Mangabal communities. Integrating geospatial data, legal timelines, and community narratives from previous field visits and recent workshops, we expose unlicensed operations on Indigenous lands: constitutionally prohibited yet aided by municipal-level licensing loopholes

The main aim of this project is to (i) map the existence of areas traditionally used and occupied by Amazonian indigenous and riverine communities in an area destined for commercial timber extraction; (ii) locate zones and corridors of illegal timber extraction beneath the forest canopy; and (iii), make this data available for the Brazilian Federal Public Ministry to inform legal procedures towards safeguarding traditional peoples.

Small island developing states (SIDS) are among the first and worst affected by climate change despite making a very small contribution to the overall global emissions that cause climate change.. For over 20 years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has played a key role in raising awareness of and implementing actions to manage the health risks of climate change, particularly global warming within SIDS (WHO, 2018) but the challenges remain. Risks can arise from direct exposures, indirect exposures and via economic and social disruptions (Smith et al., 2014). In this proposed research we focus on direct exposures to high atmospheric temperature extremes that are increasing in frequency and intensity in SIDS and are projected to continue along this trend (Hoegh-Guldberg, 2018). Specifically, we focus on Mauritius, an Indian Ocean-African SIDS, where there is an increasing trend of reported heat stress and heat-related injuries in the construction and agricultural sectors (ILO, 2019). We situate precarious work in the context of climate change, in this case extreme temperatures associated with global warming. We will examine climate change as a potential factor exacerbating experiences of precariousness among agriculture and construction workers, often migrants from global south countries like India, Nepal and Bangladesh. The study will collect evidence to (a) explore the relevance of climate change as a contributor and multiplier of precarity at work, and (b) produce occupational health policy-relevant evidence for workers in the two sectors. Both outcomes are timely for improving the climate change preparedness of relevant sectors in SIDS.
