I hold a PhD in Anthropology from the University of Bayreuth, Germany. I am a Professor at the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology, Faculty of Economic and Social Studies, University of Khartoum, where I was a lecturer since 2012, and currently I am the deputy director of the Peace Research Institute (PRI), University of Khartoum.
My areas of research interest are around power relations of development, state/society relations, and issues of knowledges’ production and their underpinning powers from an anthropological perspective.
I am a member of the teaching team of the CliMigra_Form research programme in partnership between University Paris 8 and University of Khartoum.
