I am Lecturer in Anthropology of Development at the School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh, and Director of the Research Cluster Digital Global Development. My most recent research investigated the impact of digital technology on the livelihoods of refugees and migrants. A collaboration with the International Labour Organization led to the publication of two ILO reports on decent work among youths and refugees in the internet economy. Alongside this applied work, I co-authored a recent journal article on the employment outcomes of coding schools for migrants in Berlin, investigated the relationship between migration and inequality in the journal World Development, and published widely on economic inequality, displacement, and political conflict with a focus on the Middle East. My current research agenda aims to enable a more inclusive and fair future of work in the global digital economy, with a particular focus on marginalized populations, such as refugees, and people in need of humanitarian assistance and development aid.
