About Research Publications Teaching Outreach

About

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 to facilitate research and capacity-building activities on the connections between childhood, culture, and development. 

In recent years, my research has further focused on the generational dimensions of music, activism and worldmaking, looking at how music produced and consumed by young people provides a window into the ways they make sense of the future and history, as well as its capacity to reimagine the world differently. This involves fieldwork in Ethiopia with lyricists, singers, performers and music video producers, examining their practices of musicking as a strategy of resistance against structural violence and as part of a broader struggle for political, cultural, and epistemic justice.

I am passionate about teaching and interdisciplinary, collaborative research and knowledge production. I am involved in several writing projects, coediting the Routledge Handbook of Childhood Studies 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.
