My research focuses on health and climate policy, drawing on policy studies and political science fields to explore corporate power and global governance.
I am currently researching ongoing negotiations over the UN Global Plastics Treaty, in addition to pieces on philanthropy in global health policy, neoliberalism and corporate power, multistakeholder governance in food policy, and the role of 'governance frames' in sustainable development.
I have published in a range of interdisciplinary journals, including Global Environmental Politics, One Earth, Policy & Politics and The Lancet
