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.

PRIVATE SECTOR ENGAGEMENT IN EDUCATION
I investigate the ways in which private actors--such as businesses and foundations--engage in education through policy-making, financing, and delivery of education. My studies into private sector engagement have examined non-state participation in multi-stakeholder governance, business activities in humanitarianism, and multilateral support to private schooling.

EDUCATION AND HUMANITARIANISM
My studies into education and humanitarianism explore the refugee education policies of international organizations, private sector engagement in education in emergencies, and financing of education in crisis contexts. 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.

GLOBAL GOVERNANCE OF EDUCATION
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.
