Profile
Based in the School of Politics and International Studies and the School of Languages, Cultures, and Societies, my work focuses on interdisciplinary and youth-led approaches to education, post-conflict society, and international development. My research examines the role of youth engagement in formal and non-formal education for social justice and peacebuilding in conflict-affected contexts.
At the University of Leeds, this work has been situated within “Changing the Story” – a Global Challenges Research Fund project that examines how the participatory arts can support youth-centred approaches to civil society building in 12 countries living with the legacy of conflict. I similarly teach in the field of Education and International Development.
Prior to joining the University of Leeds, I worked in the Department of Governance and Inclusive Development at the University of Amsterdam on both large and small-scale research and development projects. This included “Her Choice”, a Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) alliance that worked with partners in 10 countries, and a project commissioned by SOS Children’s Villages into the social exclusion of vulnerable youth in care.
