Research Interests
I am a multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary Africanist scholar. I hold a Ph.D. in African Studies, with specialization in politics and development. I therefore study African politics and development. I use ethnographic methods, and surveys to examine political and development themes. Consequently, my research interests include African politics, Political Economy of Development, Democratic Theory, Political Culture, Qualitative Methods, Informal Economies, African Diaspora, Chieftaincy, and Ghanaian migration patterns.
Teaching Interests
Politics and development in Africa, qualitative research methods
