Profile

I hold a MSc in International Public Policy from UCL and have previously worked in international trade, corporate social responsibility and sustainability in South Korea.

Research

My doctoral research examines climate-induced displacement, migration and everyday resilience in Myanmar, through the lens of gender. I have framed my research in Myanmar in terms of everydayness, focusing on continuity rather than rupture alone. I’m particularly interested in the constant and complex negotiation of gendered roles and the sustained process of reconstruction of rhythms in individuals and wider society.
