I am a PhD candidate in the AIDS and Society Research Unit in the Centre for Social Science Research at the University of Cape Town. My research interests include:

• civil society leadership in the AIDS response,
• transnational activist networks and
• social movements in Africa.

I was trained in philosophy and have previously written on the politics of the global left.
