Overview

I am a postgraduate researcher in the School of Law and Politics, commencing research in 2024 under the supervision of Professor Edwin Egede and Professor Peter Sutch. My primary research interests are West African politics, Multilateralism and Postcolonial political policy. 

My doctoral thesis pertains to ECOWAS and its relationship with managing conflict within Sub-Saharan Africa; specifically using the Gambian political elections of 2016/17 as a case study. This further extrapolates into a postcolonial commentary on the role of regional organisations in the global political order.
