I have a background in occupational science, occupational therapy, public health, and psychology. I am interested in participation and inclusion among people who risk outsiderness and exclusion. Risk for exclusion can in this context mean i.e. loosing one's job, living with a disability, or being a migrant. Participation in this context is both about being part of social and occupational contexts as well as the methodologies for how we can engage and involve people in research.

As a Development Studies scholar, I consider myself as an interdisciplinary researcher, given that the field amalgamates several disciplines. I am particularly keen on searching for worldviews that can change both the development narrative and migration mantra within the framework of the Global South. The general logic is to develop a discourse that departs from the “dogmatic” views that more or less seem rigidly applicable within the Global North. I hold a bachelor degree in Education from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana, an MSc degree in Development Studies from London South Bank University, UK. I am currently in the final phase of my PhD in Development Studies at the University of Lisbon, IGOT, Portugal.

I am a doctoral candidate in Curriculum and Instruction at Middle East Technical University, Turkey. My research interests focus on curriculum development and instructional strategies for education in emergencies. I am currently conducting a cross-cultural comparative study on the language development of newly arrived migrant students in monolingual countries, namely in Turkey and Germany. The purpose of my research is to explore how language curriculum is planned and implemented in both countries and reveal what structural factors in pre-, trans-, and post-migration ecologies predict the language proficiency of newly arrived migrant students.

About the Migration Network Hub
What is the Migration Network Hub?
The Hub is a virtual “meeting space” where governments, stakeholders and experts can access and share migration-related information and services. It provides curated content, analysis and information on a variety of topics.
The Hub aims to support UN Member States in the implementation, follow-up and review of the Global Compact for Migration by serving as a repository of existing evidence, practices and initiatives, and facilitating access to knowledge sharing via online discussions, an expert database and demand-driven, tailor-made solutions (launching in 2021).
Submit your content
What content is displayed in the Hub?
The Hub aims to help you find information on migration, ranging from policy briefs and journal articles, existing portals and platforms and what they offer, to infographics and videos. The different types of resources submitted by users undergo peer review by a panel of experts from within the UN and beyond, before being approved for inclusion in the Hub. To provide guidance to users based on findings of the needs assessment, the content is ordered so that more comprehensive and global resources are shown before more specific and regional ones. Know a great resource? Please submit using the links above and your suggestion will be reviewed. Please see the draft criteria for existing practices here.
Apply to join the Peer Review Roster
Content submitted to the Migration Network Hub is first peer reviewed by experts in the field from both the UN and beyond. Applications are welcomed to join the roster on an ongoing basis. Learn more here.
