I hold a PhD in Political Anthropology from the University Paris Vincennes Saint-Denis. Since 2019 I’m a lecturer (ATER) at the Political Science Department of University Paris 1 Pantheon Sorbonne. My research focuses on a socio-anthropology of protest and revolution in an urban environment. During my PhD I thus particularly explored the relationship between urban environment and modality of protest as well as the counter-cultures of young Sudanese in Khartoum. Recently I have studied the forms of exile of Sudanese militants and their mobilisation from a distance. Since 2016, I have been involved in field training activities for undergraduate students, whether at Paris 8 University or at Paris 1 University, on questions of urban and economic anthropology. Thus, I am currently working on the forms of circulation of knowledge and protest techniques in a revolutionary context in Africa and the Middle East.
Since 2016, I have been involved in field training activities for undergraduate students, whether at Paris 8 University or at Paris 1 University, on questions of urban and economic anthropology as well as in urban public policies.
I have also participated in two AUF programs as a doctoral student and researcher: Metropolization of in-between spaces ”(CEDEJ, University of Khartoum, University Paris 8, 2015-17) then“ Arabity, Islamity, Sudan ”( CEDEJ, University of Khartoum, Université Paris 8, Max Planck Institute, 2018-20). I edited a special issue of the online journal Noria on recent groundbreaking events (Noria Research 2019). I’m currently participating in the ANR research program Syndicaf (Trade Unionism in everyday life in Africa).
As a member of the CliMigraForm teaching team, I will contribute to the training sessions with a particular focus on issues of urban reconfiguration and migration policies.
