His research has focused on social determinants of political stability and is currently undertaking a study to reframe the natural resource curse discourse in Ghana using political theory analyses. He assesses political behaviour and institutions that inform decision-making and legitimacy of the state, particularly around natural resource management and distribution in sub-Saharan Africa. He has two previous Master of Arts degrees obtained from Kings College London and the University of Ghana on the broad areas of history, demography, and politics.
