Lotta Takala-Greenish

I am a LSE and SOAS trained political economist specialising in development economics (Sub-Saharan Africa). I teach a postgraduate module on emerging economies with a focus on policy and industry studies and core modules on international trade and introductory economics.

I worked on the National Minimum Wage Research Initiative (South Africa) which campaigned for a national minimum wage. This was successful as a minimum wage was introduced in 2017.

Take a look at our exciting masters MSC Global Political Economy. Funding is available for eligible students. http://courses.uwe.ac.uk/L1501/

Area of expertise

Research and teaching on industrialisation, industrial policy, sector studies (textiles and clothing, soy, essential oils, waste recycling), labour casualisation and fragmentation, minimum wages.
