Profile
Passionate about poverty and rural development on the continent, Alesia’s career includes working in various capacities with government and non-governmental organisations in Tanzania, Malawi, Ghana, Cameroon and Zambia. She formerly worked with water@leeds, one of the leading interdisciplinary water research groups as a Project Assistant on the ‘Top 100 Global Water Research Questions’ Project and later as a Project Associate at the Water Knowledge Exchange Hub (a collaboration project between Global Water Partnership -GWP-Tanzania and water@leeds).
Research interests
My research interest is broadly in the Politics of Natural Resource Management, specifically Agro-forestry, Conservation, Mineral, and Water Governance in Sub-Saharan Africa. I employ mostly political ecology and political economy frameworks in my analytical and consultative works. I currently do not supervise PhD or Masters students but am happy to provide guidance on new and ongoing research that aligns with my research interest.
