Research
I study debate about regional monetary and economic governance that took place in Latin America and Africa in their respective UN economic commissions in the middle of the twentieth century. My research reasserts the centrality of international monetary reform in the broader project to establish a New International Economic Order in the 1970s. By recovering this history, I problematize the notion of monetary and economic sovereignty and contribute to debate on the global politics of development during, and after, the Bretton Woods order.
My work intersects global intellectual history and international political economy and is supported by the Cambridge International Trust and Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. Prior to beginning doctoral research, I completed an MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History at Cambridge, and a Joint Honours undergraduate degree in Political Science and History at McGill University, after transferring from Deep Springs College.
