Associate Professor
Cape Coast

Samuel Agblorti holds PhD in geography from the University of Calgary, Canada. He previously graduated with a master’s and bachelor’s degrees in population studies from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana, where he currently holds a faculty position. Samuel’s PhD thesis was on the nexus between refugees’ use of environmental resources, resultant environmental conflicts between refugees and host populations, and the feasibility of local integration of refugees in protracted situations as a durable solution for camp refugees in Ghana. He has been involved in migration research with a concentration on forced migration and the environment in refugee hosting communities for over a decade. Recently, his research interests focus on the analysis of host-refugee environmental conflicts, mainly from the perspective of power and economic considerations and the implications of such conflicts for the local integration of refugees in protracted situations using political ecology as an analytical framework; gender and development within the broader context of development theory and praxis. He has taught a number of courses at both the graduate (Academic Writing for Graduate Students, Population Movement and Qualitative Research Methods) and undergraduate levels (Migration and Development, Gender and Development and Refugee Studies). He has authored a number of publications including one policy paper for the UNHCR titled “Refugee integration in Ghana” in 2011 and recently a paper in Refugee Survey Quarterly titled “Conceptualising obstacles to local integration of refugees in Ghana” in 2019 (with Miriam Grant) and another (with Miriam Grant) "Revisiting the host-refugee environmental conflict debate: perspectives from Ghana's refugee camps', Canadian Journal of African Studies (2020). He has supervised four master’s and one PhD theses to completion and currently supervising three master’s students and four doctoral 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).

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.
