I have come to Cambridge after working for the last few years as an advocate on International Development Issues. My main areas of work have been past and current Australian aid and trade policy towards developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region and the impact of mining, oil and gas on developing countries and communities. I have also done some advocacy work on reform of certain global financial markets and institutions. For my PhD I hope to explore generally the origins and history of globalisation and intenational development, with a particular focus on the forces and institutions that produced the predominance of a particular model of development thinking.
