Steffi Hamann

Prior to moving to Canada from Germany, I collected diverse research experiences on development-related topics in Burkina Faso, at the University of Bremen, and at the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies. I have worked with development practitioners at the German GIZ and at the Humanitarian Coalition in Ottawa. I completed a PhD with a focus on food security in rural Cameroon at the University of Guelph. My current research combines my academic background in Political Science with an interest in socioeconomic development and global inequalities. It investigates the political economy of agricultural commodity investments and their impacts in rural sub-Saharan Africa.
