I AM A SCHOLAR, POLICY COMMUNICATOR, AND DEVELOPMENT PRACTITIONER

My work bridges research, public policy, and digital engagement.

I am a Research Fellow (Visiting) at the Refugee Law Initiative, University of London, and a Tutor in the School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh. I hold a PhD in African Studies from the University of Edinburgh. 

I do research on displacement, humanitarianism, and post-conflict governance, with a particular focus on West Africa. My current projects examine the afterlives of refugeehood, statelessness and durable solutions, youth and the state, postconflict repatriation and peacebuilding, and questions of identity and belonging. 

I combine ethnographic and qualitative methods with a sustained engagement in public policy and digital communication. Alongside my academic work, I consult for research centres, think tanks, and policy and civil society organisations, providing evidence-based and data-driven research and public engagement on peace and conflict, forced migration, social protection, and governance accountability.

My teaching reflects my expertise in qualitative research methods and in politics and international studies.
