My research investigates how citizenship is un/re/made in the peripheries of state power, focusing on the everyday lives of communities navigating precarious infrastructures.
My doctoral research, supported by an Australian Commonwealth HDR Scholarship, explores the concept of 'infrastructural citizenship' in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This project analyses the entangled precarities across roads, water, and electricity to understand how residents negotiate their rights and relationship with the state through the daily management of essential, yet often unreliable, urban services.
My research is supported by the Australian Commonwealth Higher Degree by Research Scholarship.
Further funding to come in future.
Teaching activities to commence post-fieldwork (approx. 2027 onwards).
