Research summary > [Click to expand]

I am interested in questions of voice, participation and authority in development policy formulation and implementation as applied to developing world economies. My research has been governed by one question: How can development industries conceive and make development with and alongside communities?

I am deeply concerned with the continued implementation of development interventions along the modernisation paradigms, in which governments and institutions have co-opted the praxis of participation, to make stakeholders rubberstamp socio-culturally irrelevant initiatives that have been designed outside project sites.

I have been awarded a research grant worth $75,000 from International Development Research Centre and Carleton University towards an investigation into the influence that Information and Communication Technologies are having on the ownership and sustainability of, journalism practices within, and listenership to, rural and community radio broadcasters in Mozambique, Uganda and Mali (2010-2011).
