Supervision

I welcome expressions of interest from students seeking doctoral supervision. When inquiring, please include your academic CV and a short proposal outlining: the knowledge gaps, research questions, intended methods, and a timeline for completion. Due to the volume of requests I receive I cannot respond to those that do not provide the above or that lack relevance to my research areas.
