Collections
I have edited two collections that explore Africa and development through anthropological and critical lenses.
The Critical African Studies collection reflects on methodological and theoretical issues inherent in the project of "studying up" anywhere. The collection in Critical Policy Studies focuses on relationality in development work and state-society frontline relationships in both Africa and South Asia.
