Incredibly grateful to SPERI @SPERIshefuni.bsky.social Doctoral Researchers (and recent graduates) for organizing the UK nation-wide IPE conference for ECRs. Excellent presentations, step out of academic loneliness, break-the-fear supportive atmosphere. Glad that Review of International Political Economy could be represented.

Yesterday's conference 'Where to now? Emerging themes and directions in Critical Political Economy' organised by SPERI's Doctoral Researcher Network was rich with fascinating presentations & generative discussion. So impressive from both organisers and contributors 🧠

Really excited to have started an internship at International Trade Centre (ITC), where I'll be working on their GTEX/MENATEX project. If you're based in Geneva and are interested in discussing the green transition in the Moroccan garment and textile industry then please don't hesitate to reach out!

Had a fantastic time at Maroc in Mode last week discussing the green transition in the Moroccan garment industry. Really enjoying my time here in Morocco so far and hoping for plenty more insightful conversations to come!

My first fieldwork trip to Morocco has come to an end. I’ve had an incredible time, and want to thank everyone who’s helped me over the past few weeks, particularly my hosts at KAS. I’ll be back January, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to chat about my research!

Back in Morocco for the second and final trip of my PhD fieldwork. Thanks to everyone who's spoken with me so far, and once again, if you're at all interested in discussing the green transition in Morocco's garment and textile industry then please don't hesitate to reach out!

Come get involved!

After 5 months, my fieldwork has come to an end. I’ve had an incredible time, and want to thank everyone who generously gave up their time to speak to me or help me in any way they could. I hope to return soon, and I’m sure this won’t be my final visit to this incredible country!

What a privilege to chair an #eisa2025 panel with this stellar cast: Justin Rosenberg, Meera Sabaratnam, Josh White, Nadège Compaoré, Johanna Seibert, Jasmine Gani and Luke Cooper. The topic was the intersection between critical theory, structures and emancipatory agency.

Had a great time organising this last week and hope everyone in attendance did too!

As this lovely picture attests, I'm back in Geneva - conducting further interviews and engaging in some dissemination of my PhD research findings on the Green Transition in the Moroccan garment industry. If this sounds at all interesting or relevant to you, then please reach out!
