My work bridges research, policy and public engagement on displacement, security and development.
I am a Research Associate at the African Leadership Centre, King’s College London, and Visiting Research Fellow at the Refugee Law Initiative, School of Advanced Study, University of London. I hold a PhD in African Studies from the School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh.
My research examines how conflict, displacement, humanitarian intervention and institutional change shape human security across time. Using displacement as an empirical lens, I investigate the long-term consequences of protection, governance and mobility, with a particular focus on the Endings and Afterlives of Protection, refugeehood, durable solutions, citizenship, peacebuilding and emerging technologies.
I combine ethnography, qualitative and interdisciplinary research with engagement in policy and practice. Alongside my academic work, I collaborate with governments, international organisations, humanitarian agencies and research institutions to produce evidence that informs policy, strengthens practice and contributes to public debate.
My teaching reflects my expertise in qualitative research methods and in displacement, security and development.
