My primary research interests are in the fields of Development, Health, Media and Political Economics. In particular, I am eager to understand how access to modern media channels affects life in developing countries. At present, my projects cover topics related to how access to 3G networks affects women fertility decisions, health and gender norms across Africa. As a predoc, I have also studied how party politics affected the expansion of suffrage in the UK.
