I study how political institutions frame educational experiences and the intersections of these experiences on the youth impacted in education spaces. More broadly, my research is divided into four areas: the politics of education and inequality; education for democracy and politics; education in conflict and emergencies; and political science education. My work is primarily based in sub-Saharan Africa, and specifically Burundi, it is applicable to countries around the world experiencing crises of inequality in education and the effects of policies to reduce these inequalities on youth and democratization. I just completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Cornell University in the Department of Government, where I studied how active learning improves learning outcomes in political science education. I received my PhD from New York University in International Education. In my PhD, I look at how youth understand changes to education access and quality after civil wars and regime changes in sub-Saharan Africa. I focus on education in my work because it is a clear driver political, social, and economic outcomes for youth and can lasting implications on peacebuilding and conflict. |
My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Ethnopolitics, The International Journal of Educational Development, The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding, Compare: A Journal of International and Comparative Education, and Africa Spectrum.
