COVID-19 expertise
I do not work directly on COVID-19. However, I do study international development in the Pacific and have relevant knowledge on what the epidemic may mean for development in Pacific island countries. I also study Australian aid. I cannot comment directly on the aid-funded COVID-19 response but can speak to the challenges the aid program faces more generally.
Research interests
