Research
My research focuses on the relationships between migration, conflict and development, particularly displacement and refugee issues, transnationalism and remittances, and livelihoods and mobility. Recent projects include:
- Policy responses to protracted displacement, 2011, Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Conflict-related mobility in the Somali territories, 2008-09, European Commission
- Refugees and remittances, 2007-08, ESRC postdoctoral fellowship
I continue to work on these and related themes, and am increasingly interested in mobility, education and skills, including student migration.
