Teaching
Overview
My modules introduce students to a variety of themes in Latin American politics, development and international relations as well as offering more specialised, research-led study of democratisation processes in the region. My particular interests lie in the interaction between international and national dimensions of political change in Latin America, using case studies on human rights, environmental change, democratisation and development. I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and I was awarded the 2021 Learning, Teaching and Student Experience prize.
PhD Supervision
I welcome applications for PhD research related to memory politics, exile, and transnational solidarity in Latin America. I have supervised PhD projects on topics across Latin America but particularly welcome proposals focusing on Brazil and the Southern Cone. We offer postgraduate funding for social-science projects in Latin America: for more information on applying for postgraduate funding (1+3), please check the ESRC NWDTP website.
