I am a lecturer in Comparative and International Education with a special focus on education in Africa. I previously worked at the University of Cambridge where I co-founded the African Education Research Database. I serve on the leadership team of the UKRI GCRF-funded research network Transforming Education for Sustainable Futures, which is funding 60+ Southern-led projects in Rwanda, Somalia/Somaliland, South Africa and India.

My research and teaching focuses on schooling in LMICs; processes of school improvement for disadvantaged groups (in terms of pedagogies, curricula and leadership); and inequalities in education knowledge production. I welcome doctoral supervision and research collaborations in these areas.
