Interests and experience
I'm a master's student at Human Geography at UiO. I'm currently writing my thesis on the relationship between refugee influx and institutional trust in an African context, in light of migration policy. I'm interested in topics related to migration and humanitarian aid in the global South, geospatial and quantitative methods.
