Postdoctoral research fellow, Coventry University

I am a research fellow at Coventry University, with a multidisciplinary academic background. I hold a PhD in Sociology (LSE), and postgraduate degrees in Forced Migration Studies (U. Witwatersrand) and Applied Linguistics (Birkbeck).

Much of my professional life has been dedicated to research, policy and knowledge mobilisation around issues of community relations, migration and integration. I have worked in the UK and South Africa across the government, NGO and academic spheres.
