I am a political economist with research interests in institutional theory and the political economy of sustainability governance, focusing on the UK, the EU, and Africa. My work examines how institutions and power relations shape sustainability governance, particularly in moments of regulatory change, postcolonial constraint, and global transition.
I grew up in Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. I earned my first degree in Economics at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. I later studied at Queen’s University Belfast as a Commonwealth Scholar and at the University of Sheffield as a Grantham Scholar, experiences that deepened my interest in sustainability governance across different contexts.
I have written on Brexit and agri-food regulation, Brexit and environmental governance, and the evolution of UK climate institutions. My current research explores the institutions and political economy of climate finance in Africa, with a particular focus on questions of access, accountability, and geopolitical influence.
At Exeter, I teach political theory, comparative politics, and political economy, and I enjoy bringing interdisciplinary and global perspectives into my teaching.
