POWER DYNAMICS IN GLOBAL EDUCATION
My research into power dynamics includes studies that examine relationships and hierarchies that emerge within education, development, and humanitarian policy spaces, often re-inscribing inequities rooted in colonial legacies. I explored these themes in my book International Aid to Education, and in articles on multi-stakeholder governance, and inequities within and between global educational partnerships.

GLOBAL EDUCATION GOVERNANCE AND POLICY
My research into global governance of education examines the policies and portfolios of international organizations, including UN agencies, multilateral banks, bilateral donors, multi-stakeholder partnerships, as well as foundations, companies, and international non-governmental agencies. For example, I've studied the World Bank's policies on and financing of private education; bilateral aid agency priorities, and governance of and decision-making within multi-stakeholder funds.

EDUCATION IN EMERGENCY CONTEXTS
My studies into education in emergency contexts explore the refugee education policies of international organizations, private sector engagement in education in emergencies, and humanitarian aid to education. For instance, I've studied the role of private actors in refugee education; examined technology in humanitarianism; traced the evolving nature of aid to education in fragile states; and researched global and local partnership practices in education in emergencies.
