About

I am an Assistant Professor of International Relations and the Director of the MA International Relations degree program at Richmond American University in London. With a specialization in Peace Studies, Critical Security Studies, International Law, and Human Rights, I bring a diverse range of expertise to my teaching and research. I received my PhD in 2017 from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, where I studied conceptual dissonances in the transitional justice processes of Uganda and Liberia.

Since 2016, I have been teaching at Richmond American International University in London, where I offer courses on various subjects, including Peace Studies, Critical Security Studies, International Law, Human Rights, International Relations Theory, Contemporary Global Politics, and Foreign Policy Analysis. I am passionate about fostering critical thinking, effective communication, and a deep understanding of global issues among my students. I also work on degree validation, curriculum review, and decolonization, to help realize the university’s mission of unity in diversity.

I am dedicated to inspiring and guiding students, conducting impactful research, and contributing to the field of International Relations. By integrating critical analysis, effective communication, and mindfulness principles, I strive to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment for a diverse body of students. Through my research, I aim to shed light on significant global challenges and contribute to the pursuit of peace, justice, and human rights.

Supervision and Mentorship:
I have the privilege of supervising undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations, focusing on qualitative and normative research methods. I emphasize critical analysis and effective communication skills, empowering students to contribute meaningfully to the academic discourse. Additionally, I believe in creating a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, championing a dialogic approach to pedagogy rooted in care ethics and mindfulness.

Student Support and Development:
Beyond the classroom, I actively seek opportunities to support my students in their personal and academic growth. I organize mindfulness and meditation sessions to promote well-being and stress management. Through one-on-one mentorship, I guide students in their academic journeys, offering guidance and support. Furthermore, I provide internship opportunities within my research project, enabling students to gain practical experience and further develop their skills.
