I am currently serving as a Lecturer in Conflict Studies at the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute (HCRI), University of Manchester, a role I have held since October 2022. In this capacity, my focus revolves around conducting both academic and policy-oriented research, specializing in understanding how interventions shape and are shaped by local contexts, particularly within the realm of everyday economic interactions.
Prior to joining HCRI, I dedicated two years of my professional journey to working as a researcher in the Food, Peace and Security Programme at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) from 2020 to 2022. During my time at SIPRI, my research primarily centered on sustainable peace and the Triple Nexus, with a specific emphasis on examining the role of humanitarian cash-based assistance in enhancing the prospects for peace. As part of this work, I had the opportunity to produce reports exploring how the cash-based programmes of the UN World Food Programme (WFP) can contribute to improving peace prospects in Lebanon and Nigeria.
Additionally, I have engaged in various consultancy projects, including collaborating with organizations such as the Danish Refugee Council, Proximity International, and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). These projects encompassed conducting market assessments, skills gap analyses, and capacity assessments and trainings in diverse settings like Arsal, Lebanon; Iraq, and Inle Lake, Myanmar.
In terms of my educational background, I completed my PhD in Conflict Studies at HCRI in 2020. My doctoral research delved into the implications of humanitarian cash-based assistance for the relationship between host and refugee communities in Lebanon. Furthermore, I have a Master's degree in International Social Development from the University of East Anglia (UEA).
With my combined academic and practical experience, I strive to contribute to the field of peace and conflict studies and promote sustainable peace through my work at HCRI.
