Obaa Akua Konadu, Dr (O.A.)
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at FASoS, and my research focuses on how to build fairer arrangements between platforms and hiring companies in high-income countries and workers based in low- and middle-income countries. My work generally sits at the intersection of women, youth, and work. I also teach in the Global Studies programme.
