Research topic: The political geography of violence in Nigeria: A subnational approach
The objective of my research is to explore and explain subnational variation in violent collective action in Nigeria. Adopting an interdisciplinary theoretical framework drawn from across the social sciences and a mixed methods approach, I aim to investigate how local political factors interact with socioeconomic ones to shape the likelihood and nature of violence in space and time.
