Overall my research is concerned with international development policy. I have a particular interest in the roles of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society in development; and in anthropological approaches to the study of development organizations: my main geographical focus is on South Asia; mainly Bangladesh but also India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. I have also worked in the Philippines. I have undertaken consultancy for a range of development organizations including Oxfam, Save the Children, UK Department for International Development (DFID), Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and The Body Shop.
