Prior to joining Northumbria University, Roseline previously worked at University of Leeds, University of Huddersfield.
Outside of academia, Roseline works with local and international development organisations, business associations and policymakers. She is an expert advisor on international trade policy to governments and business organisations. Research projects explore the links between international business and development impacts in society.
Roseline currently serves as an expert advisor to the UK Secretary of State for International Trade and a member of the Export Guarantees Advisory Council (EGAC). This Council advises on the operations of UK Export Finance (UKEF). The Council monitors adherence to UK business principles including environmental, social and human rights impacts. The Council does not advise on official support for individual export projects and instead carries out reviews following UKEF support.
Ongoing research projects investigate foreign direct investment spillovers, development impacts, trade incentives and policy, knowledge transfer; institutional contexts; employment and decent work, and innovation outcomes. Roseline teaches and supervises projects on these themes in International Business and Economics at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels.
