About my research

I am a social anthropologist and researcher at the African Studies Center of the Pardee School of Global Studies of Boston University. My research focuses on informal economies, financial technology and social media platforms, migration and diaspora, and land and agrarian relations. My longitudinal field research in East Africa studied local associations of mutual security, such as cooperative work and savings groups, and informal courts and militias. My doctorate degree is from Brandeis University.
