Public Engagement

My research has attracted media attention from a range of outlets including the New York Times, the Economist, the Guardian, the BBC, Vox, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Jakarta Post. I have presented my research to policy makers and academic audiences in over 10 countries. Some examples of the blogs I have authored and presentations I have given are listed below.
