Researchers found in the Directory range from our PhD and early career researchers to Professors. Within these profiles, you will find details of research interests, ongoing research projects, noteworthy gender and sexualities-related publications, and teaching activity. We hope these entries will enable researchers to connect with one another (across and beyond the institution), encouraging multidisciplinary collaboration.
Course entries on the Directory provide insight into the content taught in each course, the course’s credit level, and the year taken. Course entries provide a valuable resource to students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, assisting in navigating gender and sexualities studies pathways through their University programmes.

People First: The Anthropology of International Development |
Much of international development is approached in terms of what organizations can do to help people living in precarious and impoverished circumstances. From development theories and policies to organizational forms and product innovations, the complexity of approaches makes it easy to lose sight of the human element.

What are the ethnographic realities in which these interventions play out? |
