I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in International Politics in the Department of Politics & International Relations at the University of Sheffield and an Associate Fellow at Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute (SPERI).
My research focuses on the historical sociology of state formation and capitalist development in the Middle East and the political economy of development. I am the editor of States of Discipline: Authoritarian Neoliberalism and the Contested Reproduction of Capitalist Order, and Authoritarian Neoliberalism: Philosophies, Practices, Contestations (with Ian Bruff).
My research has been published in the European Journal of International Relations, New Political Economy, Review of International Studies, South European Society and Politics, Globalizations, The South Atlantic Quarterly and Journal of International Relations and Development. I teach courses on the political economy of global capitalism, historical materialism and the historical sociology of the Middle East.
I am a Governing Board member of the European International Studies Association and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
