Thesis title
'Adapting to insecurity: the increasing prominence of remote humanitarian management'
Research
My research focuses on remote humanitarian management and the impacts and effects this has on aid work. In attempting to square the circle of researching remote contexts, empirical data gathered from humanitarian logistics and supply chain management will be used as a way of exploring what it means to operate remotely, contributing towards a better understanding of the impacts and effects of remote management on aid work.
