At the LSE Departments of Government and International Development, I welcome applications from prospective PhD students in the following areas:
land politics, titling, demarcation, land conflict
regions and regionalism: political economy determinants and political effects
political economy of inequality
states in the Global South.
I am happy to discuss ideas with prospective students: please email me with a short research proposal and your CV. For procedural information on how to apply for doctoral studies at the LSE, please visit the LSE website.
In 2021-2022, I am especially interested in supervising students who combine interests in African political economy with disciplinary background in Geography, History, Demography, and/or Environmental Studies, and who are experienced in the use of GIS and econometrics. The LSE also has an array of methodology offerings that successful applications can take advantage of to enhance their skills in these areas once they are at the LSE.
My LSE PhD students in 2021-2022 are: Camilo Acero (ID, with JP Faguet, and LSE International Inequalities Institute), Sept. 2021+ Mcdonald Lewanika (GV, with Omar McDoom), 2015-Feb. 2020 Nicolai Schulz (ID), 2015-Feb. 2020 Carolin Dieterle (ID), 2016+ Issac Harkuna (ID), 2017-18 (MRes) Yuezhou Yang (ID), 2017+ Musa Kpaka (ID, with Elliott Green), 2017-2018 (MRes) Michael Mbate (MRes, 2017)
