DEV Working Paper Series
The Working Paper Series profiles research and policy work conducted by the School of International Development and International Development UEA. Launched in 2007, it provides an opportunity for staff, associated researchers and fellows to disseminate original research and policy advice on a wide range of subjects. All papers are peer reviewed within the School. Recent past work, provided it meets the standards required and has contemporary significance is also welcome.
The DEV Research Briefings series presents policy-relevant evidence and insights from research conducted by staff in the School of International Development and International Development UEA.

Biography
I have a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Sussex, where I also worked as an associate lecturer and tutor, until I joined DEV in July 2014. Before moving to Sussex I worked for several years as a professional researcher and consultant in academic and non-academic sectors in Portugal, including the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the High Commission for Immigration and Intercultural Dialogue in Lisbon. I have also worked continuously as a professional trainer in migration-related issues, in public and private non-profit organisations.

Key Research Interests
My research is mainly concerned with migration, food and land in African contexts, especially in Lusophone Africa (Guinea-Bissau and Angola). I am particularly interested in the debate on the reconciliation between global processes and local experiences of migrants and their families, and in understanding, through a grounded, ethnographically oriented approach, how the connections between the two have implications for local development. I am currently involved in two research projects - one on internal migration, land and rural-urban livelihoods in the Huambo region of Angola, and another one on migration, racism and political attitudes in the UK. I also coordinate a Museum-University partnership, funded by the Arts Council, that explores issues around migration in Norfolk through a combination of arts and research.
