PhD student spotlights

I am a dedicated MPhil/PhD student with a strong interest in disaster management, public health, emergency preparedness, and incident command systems. My research centers on the intersection of disaster management and public health. I am particularly interested in exploring how incident command systems and emergency preparedness can be leveraged to enhance community resilience in the face of natural and man-made disasters."

 “My PhD research endeavours to investigate the evolution of discourse surrounding 'Housing, Land, and Property (HLP) rights' within the context of development in displacement, conflict, and post-conflict situations, with a particular emphasis on intersectional feminist perspectives." 

After working for many years in several hospitals in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, I decided to pursue postgraduate studies in human rights and development management; and my interest in these areas is motivated by my desire to undertake research work that will hopefully illuminate underlying causes of, and profess sustainable solutions to, the socio-economic, environmental, and public health problems associated oil exploration in my native country Nigeria."

I am a hybrid researcher in art, ecology and society. My training does not respond to a single disciplinary home, drifting between ecology and politics, with a special interest in ways of inhabiting changing environments, food and water systems, and urban metabolism."

Nurtured by the insights garnered during my Master’s, my research now assiduously explores the intricate complexities of urban environments, emphasizing their symbiotic relationships with sustainability and human well-being." 

Drawing on abolitionist, and feminist scholarship as well as critical urban studies, I will analyse the ambivalent relations between control and care, examining through the makeshift what I refer to as the architectural embodiment of some ‘spaces of holding’."
