- Profile
-
Rosie is a multilingual consultant for civil society organisations and academic institutions in the fields of international development, gender and education, NGO partnership development and practices. She provides strategic, methodological, organisational and programmatic skills to support partners in research, advocacy, partnership development and project cycle implementation. She has significant experiences working across transnational contexts on topics spanning violence and human rights, social justice and equality, social movements and activism, alternative pedagogies and participation.
Rosie is currently undertaking a PhD at the University of Sheffield School of Management, focusing on international development and inter-organisational partnerships between civil society organisations from the Global North and the Global South. For this purpose, she is working on the project "Strengthening Civil Society: Linking theory, practice and policy to improve transnational inter-organisational partnerships for international development", collaborating closely with NGO partners located in the UK and Nepal. Using a critical participatory action-research with the research partners, she is analysing the partnership shaping, enactment and negotiation. This interdisciplinary research draws from critical, post-colonial, post-development and feminist theories and frameworks. This research contributes to critically examining the modalities and relations between key development agents.

- Research interests
-
Rosie's interdisciplinary work is located at the intersection of critical development studies, critical management and organisation studies, and political sociology.
Her research broaches on Partnership processes & development; international development; CSOs & NGOs; participation & power; participatory & experimental research methods; social & global justice.
Drawing from critical, feminist, Southern, decolonial and post-development theories and frameworks, she is interested in the politics of knowledge production, issues of systemic and structural inequality, and how global agendas and discourses have shaped the development sector.
Informed by her professional development experience, her analysis focuses on the ways in which partnering civil society organisations from the Global South and the Global North navigate and negotiate global power relations, the existing and emerging margins for manoeuvre and their practicalities, and how NGOs articulate resistance.
