About Publications Teaching

About

I am convenor of postgraduate programs, namely MPhil in Childhood Studies and Ph.D. in Education specializing in Interdisciplinary Child Research. My teaching, research, and publications intersect childhood/youth studies and development studies with an emphasis on how young people are affected by and contribute to the transformations of the socio-cultural and political-economic environments they inhabit. I have conducted longitudinal ethnographic and participatory research on precarious childhoods and youth in Ethiopia and worked on a range of topics in diverse African contexts. Currently, I lead a project financed by the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills (2019-2024) to facilitate research and capacity-building activities on the connections between childhood, culture, and sustainable development. 

In recent years, my research has further focused on popular culture and the aesthetics of youth activism, exploring the revolutionary capacities of young people's music/music videos/oral poetry. This includes fieldwork involving young music activists, singers, lyricists, performers, etc. to bridge gaps in knowledge production between academia and other communities of practice on pressing concerns such as oppression, violence and dispossession, but also as a means to achieve cultural and epistemic justice. 

I am involved in several writing projects, coediting the Routledge Handbook of Childhood and Global Development and a themed issue of Childhood on southern theories and decolonial childhood studies. My edited book African Futures and Childhood Studies in Africa is published by CODESRIA in 2022.

I am a member of the research group Critical Childhood and Youth Studies at NTNU and serve as an international advisory board member of Children’s Geographies and Fennia: International Journal of Geography. I am also an editor of Childhood; A journal of global child research.

Completed and ongoing externally funded projects:

  • Principal Investigator for research on the livelihood strategies of AIDS-affected children and families (Research Council of Norway, 2004-2008).
  • Project Leader, Nordic Network of African Childhoods and Youth Research - NoNACYR (NordForsk, 2011-2016).
  • Project Leader, Children’s Migration in Historical and Cross-cultural Perspectives (NOS-HS, 2017-2020).
  • Co-Principal Investigator in an interdisciplinary research consortium focusing on childhood and local knowledge in Ethiopia and Zambia (NUFU, 2007-2012).
  • Co-Principal Investigator, Young People, Participation and Sustainable Development in an Urbanizing World (UN-Habitat, 2012-2013).
  • Director of the Council for Development of Social Science Research in Africa’s Child and Youth Institute: African Futures and the Future of Childhood in Africa (CODESRIA, 2017).
  • Project Leader, AAU-NTNU Partnership to Promote Knowledge on Childhood, Culture and Sustainable Development (Norwegian Directorate for Collaboration in Higher Education and Skills, Diku 2019-2024).
