I am a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography, with a specialisation in Migration Studies. My research interests include return migration, (re)integration, transnationalism and community dynamics. I am an experienced migration researcher with a focus on Afghanistan - including fieldwork with Afghan migrants, refugees and returnees in Afghanistan, India, UK, Norway and the USA.
