Profile

I am an economic anthropologist whose research focuses on social enterprise and the use of new technologies, approaches to data and markets, and moral logics for money's circulation in the pursuit of social and environmental aims. I teach courses on the anthropology of international development and economic anthropology.

As a British Academy / Wolfson Foundation Fellow (2022-25), I am conducting a comparative and interdisciplinary research project on the everyday data practices of social enterprises in Bangladesh and Scotland in collaboration with data scientists and social enterprise practitioners and policy makers.
