I teach the economics of education, coloniality/modernity in development, capabilities deprivation, and human right in education and development. I also teach courses in human rights in education and comparative international development education.
Research and program work is in rights in education in a number of countries. Human rights in development aid and Education and Globalization. The twinning of rights in education with development to unmask Africa from the shackles of imperialism. My work critically relates culture and right-capability as an anti-development genocide approach. The current niche in research is on rights in education for Africanization ofn development.
