Selected Publications & Blogs
I have always sought to encourage and contribute to the dissemination of research findings, evaluation material , peoples direct experiences of development for practitioners . For example see the INTRAC work I sponsored under the Praxis programme and other Intrac resources. I also founded and later returned to be the editor of Development in Practice a journal which has sought to act as a bridge between academia and practitioners. I have written a great deal myself from classic development texts on specific themes , through to blogs , briefing notes and innumerable contributions to debates and discussions . Do look through the selected list of publications and where possible follow links for those available to download .
