My research interests explore the intersection of digital media and political engagement, emphasizing how marginalized communities use digital storytelling to assert identity, mobilize politically, and build resilience. I also explore decentralization, political contestation, urban informality, and the intersections of governance and everyday life. I adopt an interdisciplinary approaches that combines ethnography, political science, and area studies to examine how power is negotiated, resisted, and reshaped in both rural and marginalised urban African contexts. My work also contributes to broader debates on democracy, justice, and structural inequality.
