She is interested in all things tax: 1) How it makes people behave, 2) How industries are formed around avoiding and manipulating it, and 3) How in the pursuit of 1) and 2) can influence the culture of indigenous populations. For her PhD, May will study three British Overseas Territories in the Caribbean region: The Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and the British Virgin Islands, in order to understand how expatriates and indigenous populations have transformed themselves from maritime economies in to powerful finance-based economies, and what the future might hold for each of the three islands.
