Research, knowledge production, and network leadership on migration, displacement, and rights-based protection.

I have spent twenty years directing regional research programmes, building multi-country coalitions, and advising on protection frameworks across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. My core expertise is in forced migration and refugee protection, and I have applied the same skills to climate-related displacement, immigration detention, and labour migration.
