Researcher

7C823FA5-FF99-49EE-87FA-9A45ABEA501A.heic

 I am a Research Associate at the Overseas Development Institute and a PhD candidate at the London School of Economics. My PhD is on the militarisation of Niger and state legitimacy. Over the last 3 years, I have carried out in-depth field research on Nigeriens' perception of foreign military presence, counter insurgency practice and the state. Before starting my PhD, I was a Research Fellow at ODI where I led multi-country research on the link between services and state legitimacy for DFID. I have also experience in researching the social impact of mining in conflict-affected regions.
