I research and write. My work lies at the intersection of African history, the anthropology of religion, economic anthropology, and migration studies, and focuses on questions of authority, mobility, livelihoods, and faith, primarily in and around the borderlands of Ethiopia, Uganda, and South Sudan. I completed my PhD in African History in Durham University, was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at KU Leuven and in the Refugee Studies Centre at Oxford University, and have worked as a researcher and consultant with various international and local organisations in East Africa.
