I am a sociologist, specialising in migration studies. I have a BA in International Relations and Development Studies from Sussex University, UK, as well as a MA by Research in Evaluation Research and a PhD in Sociology, both from the University of Nottingham, UK. I currently work as a researcher at Bielefeld University. My research is broadly concerned with exploring the nexus between social inequality and international migration. I am particularely interested in conceptualising the effects of social inequality in migratory contexts by drawing on theories of time and immobility. I mostly do ethnographic and qualitative field research to gather my data, but have extensive experience with mixed-methods designs. I have a particular interest in undocumented migration in and from Africa, South-South migration, gender and migration as well as civil society engagements with migration.
