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.
In 2020-2022, 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 2020-2021 are:
Mcdonald Lewanika (GV, with Omar McDoom), 2015-Feb. 2020
Nicolai Schulz (ID), 2015-Feb. 2020
