Many thanks to Kyran de Silva @sazpaps Heather Proctor Wegahta Bolaji Balogun for presenting at the race and nation sessions on the last day and last slots of the #RGSIBG2023...

Thrilled to present our work on discursive resistance at the RGS-IBG Race-Nation session in #London. The panel was enlightening! Reuniting with old friends, some after decades, made the experience even more special. #RGSIBG23

Going home after a 3-day ECREA conference in Rotterdam. Had the chance to connect with amazing scholars and presented my recent project on diasporic Eritreans' affective-discursive practices in their communication with their families in Eritrea, where internet access is limited.

Thrilled to share our latest pub in Ethnic and Racial Studies: “Techniques to be respected as a human being!” We explore how migrants deploy power and propose a continuum between tactics and strategies and a form of strategy by proxy. Check it out! Check it out! #@USI_en #@ICPP_USI #@IMISCOE

Delighted sharing my Oxford Journals article on how my positionality elicited discomfort unlocking deep layers of experiences. Introduced a novel approach to interviews as situated affective-discursive encounters highlighting the role of emotions in research. #USI_en #ICPP_USI #

I am happy to share that yesterday I successfully defended my PhD with Magna Cum Laude! This journey has been challenging but full of growth. I am grateful to my supervisor, mentors, colleagues, friends, and family for their support.
