Biography
I am an economic anthropologist whose research focuses on social enterprise and the use of new technologies, data, and markets for poverty alleviation and other pro-social aims. I teach courses on the anthropology of development and economic anthropology.
As a Fellow at the Edinburgh Futures Institute (2019-23), I co-direct the design of the innovative MSc Data, Inequality & Society programme, part of the EFI 'Data Futures' portfolio of 12 postgraduate pathways to launch in 2022.
As a British Academy / Wolfson Foundation Fellow (2022-24), I am conducting a comparative and interdisciplinary research project on the everyday data practices of social enterprises in Bangladesh and Scotland in collaboration with data scientists and social enterprise practitioners and policy makers.
Mary Michel (Ostrero), Tom Flint (Edinburgh Napier University), and I have developed an exploratory research project called Creative Coin, funded by Creative Horizons (AHRC). The project works with data and technology to design a special-purpose currency as an experimental collaborative research method for understanding how multiple societal and environmental values are expressed and circulated within the creative industries and how these can build a circular economy.
