Research projects
My PhD thesis, Transnational Youth Mobility Trajectories: An ethnography of young people with a migration background between Ghana and Germany, is part of the MO-TRAYL project, funded by the European Research Council and led by Prof. Valentina Mazzucato.
The objective of MO-TRAYL is to develop a better understanding of the relationship between migration and young people’s life chances, by studying the mobility and educational trajectories of young people growing up between Ghana, The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
I conducted fieldwork with young people of Ghanaian background in Hamburg (Germany) and Ghana. I am particularly interested in the impact that youth mobility between different educational systems and cultures has on young people's lives, and how visual methods can be used to explore these questions.
