My research explores emerging/protracted crises and the people/actors involved. I am thinking about how do we create a future that supports all of us with justice and equity.
Starting November 2025, I am a visiting researcher at Newcastle University, School of Geography, Politics and Sociology. While at Newcastle University, I am exploring gender inclusive development, migration and related topics.
From 2020 (while at Durham University), I explored humanitarianism, innovation and how 'people on the move' are governed by the digital and the financial. Please see glitchspaces.org. Since 2022, I researched the Polish response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and I continue to support Ukrainian academics to conduct their own research in a time of war. I utilize interdisciplinary and creative methods in (co)creating knowledge and am particularly keen to ensure that my (co)-produced research has relevance and traction within policy and practice. Please see www.grripp.net
My employment primarily with United Nations agencies (International Labour Organisation and United Nations Development Programme), focused on livelihoods and local economic development in several countries. There has always been a clear gendered focus within my UN work and within my academic research. Through my monitoring and evaluation consulting work, I strive to listen, learn and document the change created. My academic career has been an opportunity to engage critically with gender, risk, migration, urban resilience, grassroots initiatives, community/collective as well as natural hazards.
