- Dr. Zaad Mahmood is Associate Professor of Political Science at Presidency University, Kolkata. His research interests include political economy focusing on policy reform, capital-labour- interaction, changing nature of work and its politics and political participation. One of his current research projects, entitled the ‘Electoral Integrity Project’, examines political participation in India, specifically the quality of elections and the role of election observation missions.
- Dr. Mathilde Maitrot is a Senior Lecturer in International Development at the University of Bath. Her work takes an interdisciplinary and ethnographic approach to examining the politics of development. In particular, she focuses on how politics and governance shape experiences of inequality, marginalisation and extreme poverty in Bangladesh. She is also interested in the integration of social science perspectives and disciplines to make development interventions and policies more inclusive.
- Dr. Oliver Walton is a Reader in International Development at the University of Bath, specialising in the political economy of war-to-peace transitions, NGO politics, aid policy, conflict, and peacebuilding. His recent work has examined the role of borderlands and brokers in post-war transitions in Nepal and Sri Lanka, the relationship between conflict and social welfare, and the role of alcohol in conflict-affected regions.
- Dr. Lata Narayanswamy is Associate Professor in the Politics of Global Development at the University of Leeds. Inspired by her time working as a knowledge-for-development practitioner, Lata’s research critically reflects on gendered/intersectional and post/decolonial dynamics of development knowledge and its perceived contribution to global development challenges. She is currently involved in applied, interdisciplinary research related to climate change, water security and decolonising development.
