Position: Lecturer in Development Studies
Biography:
Martha has a background in sociology, education and development studies. Her research work explores contested visions of development and the forms of knowledge and participation privileged in development processes. Education policy and planning and the everyday experiences of schooling provide the substantive focus of much of her work and the ‘hook’ in to these debates. Her recent work on conflict and development takes a cross-sectoral perspective to explore agency responses to war and violent conflict.
Teaching:
Martha has been involved in the production and presentation of a number of Global Development Management courses including War, Intervention and Development (TU875); Managing Inter-organisational Relations (TU872); and Capacities for Managing Development (TU870). She chaired (with Giles Mohan) the production of the new edition of Capacities for Managing Development.

- Education for All: global strategies and local practice
