I am professor emeritus in global and international development studies, a member of the Global Political Sciology and International Development research groups, and coordinator of the Forum for Africa research. I am also a research fellow at the international research centre on 'Work and Human Lifecycle in Global History' at the Humboldt University in Berlin, the African Social Studies book series, published by Brill, and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Southern African Studies.

My ongoing research is focused on globalisation in the western Indian Ocean and on transformations in forms of unfree labour from slavery through indenture to contemporary modes of transnational migrant and contract labour. My research is concerned with the cultural and political aspirations of the descendants of slaves and indentured labourers, and aims to understand the impact of religion within Indian Ocean slave trade diasporas.
