We engage with development studies as the critical design and evaluation of interventions aimed at solving socially rooted problems, which must now account for the massive impact of information disorder on vulnerable populations.
We see that traditional development models often miss how digital deception derails economic progress and human security.
When online scams trap workers in debt bondage or false narratives block climate aid, development fails.
We bridge this gap by merging communication theory with development frameworks.
Our research and teaching focus on building civic literacy and resilient information ecosystems.
This ensures that development interventions actually equip communities to navigate digital threats, protecting their economic futures and fundamental rights.
