Research Associate at Global Strategy Lab at York University, researching AMR governance. Other research interests include: corporate power, political and corporate determinants of health, multistakeholderism, and corporate capture of global governance.
People think this is a past issue but it’s very much current. To see the lengths Nestlé went to to silence a whistleblower in Pakistan after he & I published evidence of their wrongdoings, watch the film Tigers, directed by Oscar-winning director Danis Tanoviç, starring Emraan Hashmi & Mariam d’Abo

It's moves like this that reveal the silver lining of US withdrawal from WHO, even amidst the damage done by this rogue state (there and elsewhere - see recent estimates of 600,000 deaths already due to USAID shutdown).

The genocide against the Palestinian people is the clearest example of an economic system rooted in colonial practices.
We took to the streets in Geneva in solidarity with the Palestinian people, alongside thousands to demand an end to corporate complicity.
#StopCorporateImpunity & #FreePalestine
Download the FOE report "The TNC Lobby: Foxes in the Henhouse" (linked below), which "exposes how transnational corporations like Chevron, Shell and Total convert their economic might into political power."
"The #CorporateLobby present here as 'business associations' are a threat to the treaty and to human rights. For the #BindingTreaty to become an instrument of justice, the process must be free from corporate influence, as this room should be."
-Pierre Maison @viacampesina.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy
"There shouldn’t be corporate influence at all at the #BindingTreaty negotiations. Transnational corporations are clearly not legitimate in decision-making processes meant to regulate them. It is a clear and absolute conflict of interest."
- Juliette Renaud @amisdelaterre.org / FoE France
Shaping the knowledge structure/environment: what research questions get asked, what research is done (and how) to answer those questions, and what findings get published and where/how. All of this shapes preferences and policies that affect the public interest.
📢 Live from Geneva: What's happening in the negotiations for a #UNBindingTreaty on business + human rights?

🧵: "✅No more loopholes ✅No more voluntary codes ✅No more impunity
For people, for the Planet, for Palestine"
Corporate giants and their financiers are maintaining the occupation and genocide in Palestine. As they reap colossal profits, the rights of the Palestinian people are being trampled on.
In solidarity with the Palestinian people, we demand an end to corporate complicity and impunity #FreePalestine
Following!
new article in @reggovjournal.bsky.social that examines how corporations engage in 'venue hopping' as a means to advance agendas in multiple spaces and at multiple levels
This riffs off Baumgartner and Jones' notion of venue shopping, but adapts it for an increasingly multistakeholder world
🌍 Heading to #WHS2025? Don’t miss the chance to meet Dr. Geneviève Boily-Larouche from our #AMRPolicyAccelerator!
This year’s theme “Taking Responsibility for Health in a Fragmenting World” hits home. #AMR is a global challenge that demands shared responsibility + One Health collaboration.
📣 Evidence-supported action speaks louder than words, especially when approaching #AMR.
👂🏽:Listen to our latest #UnpackingAMR episode on the creation of the Independent Panel on Evidence for Action (IPEA), featuring insights from @iruka-okeke.bsky.social & @mcdonnell.bsky.social

The next Collective Conversation is next week, the last one for this year.
Really pleased about this new GSL initiative led by @roojinhabibi.org
Really wish @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social was highlighting that Canada's military ally is apparently abandoning the rules of engagement, instead of focusing on the gender-neutral, "male-level" fitness standards part of Hegseth's speech 🙄
Join our upcoming event on 3rd October!
Last call for registration! Happening tomorrow at 1:00.
Pretty significant breakthrough in tackling undue corporate influence in global climate governance
After years of pressure from CSOs, UNFCCC will require observers to disclose who is funding their participation at COPs. More to do obviously, but a major step

Still time to register for this webinar that's happening tomorrow!
How we frame antimicrobial resistance (AMR) matters.
This new #SAFEAMR study looks at how #AMR messaging reaches farmers, policymakers & the public, and what works and what doesn’t.
