My research focuses on the critical examination of the mobilities exhibited by groups and sectors in flux and how technology is used to both structure and manage these mobilities. Post-Brexit, with greater concentrations of international students and refugees, with the unbundling of labour and education, with a global edtech regime emerging in developing contexts largely unmooring local educational expertise and displacing higher education as a vehicle for social mobility, this research focus provides capacity to critically examine these movements holistically and to begin to address the larger intractable challenges that may stunt educational progress in development contexts. The role digital education might serve in this increasingly unbundled intersectional educational environment is of particular importance.
