My work critiques the European Union’s entanglements as a trade power in world politics through interpretive, counter-eurocentric and anticolonial perspectives.
In my dissertation, I attempt to recast the EU’s Generalised Scheme of Preferences as a technology of intervention in the global souths and interrogate how coloniality permeates the discursive practices of the trade policy establishment in Brussels.
I have published my most recent writings in Politics and Governance, European Foreign Affairs Review, Journal of Contemporary European Research, and in a Routledge edited volume on ‘The EU in a globalised world’.
