Current Objectives

Geography - International Development
Education Interest and Focus
I am currently interested in the effects of international development policies on the
peoples of developing and lesser-developed countries. Under current development policies,
developing countries are not able to break away from colonial style relations to the
developed nations. Wealth continues to flow from the previous colonial states to the
developed countries leaving huge populations of poverty stricken people. As globalization
expands, Africa is being further marginalized due in part to internal problems and due to
perceptions among global investors. African nations are struggling to establish identities
and viable economies while sorting out post-colonial problems. Urbanization and
introduction of western technologies have aggravated these problems. Africa has shed the
nickname "The Dark Continent" but it is in danger of becoming "The Lost
Continent." I am interested in studying African socioeconomic development problems to
further the discourse on international human development and future international
development policies.
