I am Associate Dean of Research and Professor of Politics and International Relations at King’s University College at the University of Western Ontario.

My research and teaching interests include global political economy, gender and trade, sustainable development, global governance, global civil society, the role of expert knowledge in global trade and innovative pedagogy. I have published extensively on these topics in Review of International Political Economy, Journal of International Economic Law, Globalizations, Journal of World Trade, World Trade Review, World Economy, Third World Quarterly, among others. I am co-editor (with James Scott and Silke Trommer) of Expert Knowledge in Global Trade (Abingdon: Routledge, 2015), author of NGOs and Global Trade: Non-State Voices in EU Trade Policymaking (Abingdon: Routledge, 2016) and I am the editor of Global Political Economy, 7th Edition (Oxford: Oxford University Press, in press). I currently hold a SSHRC Insight Grant (with Silke Trommer and Adrienne Roberts at the University of Manchester) to examine gender mainstreaming in global trade governance and its implications for redressing inequality, exclusion, and disempowerment in the global economy.
