Prof. Kimuli Kasara, Ph.D.

The work of Kimuli Kasara focuses on political geography and how patterns of ethnic settlements matter for who controls political processes. Her broader work, largely conducted in sub-Saharan Africa shows how population displacements are used to generate political advantages. At WZB she plans to extend this work to understand the implications of new patterns of South-South migration on patterns of inequality, political integration, and violence.
