A PhD candidate based at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK. My research interests include the politics of development and governance, gender and climate change, and the intersection of information security with sustainable development. Will be in Uganda in August 2024 to scope and collect data for the initial phase of my PhD, the result of which will be a short research project on climate and environment campaigning. This short research project will then pave the way for my bigger PhD research, likely in the same area.
