I’m Senior Policy Manager at BBC Media Action, a non-profit that uses media to help promote democracy and development in the developing world. Before that, I worked for a decade in radio, print and Online journalism. I hold a PhD in political science and have taught at both the University and secondary school level in the U.S. and the U.K. I blog about adulthood at www.realdelia.com and about women and politics at The Washington Post’s  She The People blog.
