BHER undergraduate students in class in Dadaab, circa 2018

I retired in the autumn of 2018 from the Anthropology Department of the Faculty of Liberal and Professional Studies (LA&PS) at York University.  I no longer teach at York University, but I am a Research Associate in the Centre for Refugee Studies.

Most of my research at York University since 1993 has been housed in the Centre for Refugee Studies, including the. Borderless Higher Education for Refugees (see the BHER website) I am currently working on a book on the BHER project with Don Dippo and Aida Orgocka.
