About me

I am an economic historian and researcher at Lund University, affiliated with the Departments of Economic History. I hold an MSc and PhD in Economic History from Lund University and have previously worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Lund and the University of Cambridge.

I currently contribute to major research projects on the political economy of the Cape Colony and the historical development of inequality in Africa. My recent work has also examined labour and labour-market integration in Ghana, resilience to economic contraction in developing countries, and the relationship between climate exposure, asset ownership, and inequality.

Alongside this research, I study changing patterns of international scientific cooperation and their implications for research policy and geopolitics. I teach academic writing, research methods, emerging economies, and the history of colonialism in Africa and Latin America. In 2020, I received the Lund University School of Economics and Management Teacher of the Year award. I also undertake consultancy work for STINT and the United Nations Development Programme.
