Atlas.
This is a living map of the ideas, corridors, and frameworks that animate my scholarship. Think of it as a companion to my full publications list and a space to explore my work by theme, time, place, or theoretical lens.
My scholarship follows people and the norms that both enable and constrain how they move, work, and belong. The law I'm interested in is the law as it is lived: in refugee hearings, along migration corridors, inside platform economies, across African democratic imaginaries. This atlas gathers that work in one place.

In sequence

By place
The jurisdictions, corridors, and communities my work engages. My research follows people and norms across borders.

By lens
Six theoretical frameworks that shape how I approach my material. Each is developed across more than one of my publications.
From my TWAIL analysis of the Global Compact for Migration, on what the "consensus document" quietly assumes.
“ The normalisation of sovereignty, border security, and economic demands as embedded in the GCM furthers a racialised hierarchy of international norms.
Here I argue that Africa is a site of normative production, not deficiency, drawing the distinction between a law of democracy and a law on democracy.
“ Africa's engagement with democracy has not been merely reactive or derivative, but normatively generative, drawing from local traditions, continental solidarities, and hybrid legal innovations.
The reframing of the Canadian protection regime, drawing on empirical VULNER research conducted with migrants, civil servants, and practitioners.
“ The system itself is responsible for creating, or exacerbating, many of these vulnerabilities.
The opening of my Indiana Journal piece on the Nigeria–Italy corridor, where gender is at once a driver, a pathway, and a destination of labour mobility.
“ Temporary and permanent movements are globalising, accelerating, diversifying, and feminising.
From my forthcoming work with UnyimeAbasi Odong, where we reframe sharenting as a site of digital labour under international human rights law.
“ Childhood increasingly unfolds within algorithmic and economic contexts that transcend domestic boundaries and challenge conventional legal norms.
