Mariam Rashid
Mariam’s scholarly interests are contoured by the study of forced migration and refugee governance, statelessness, and international development. Her thinking draws from anticolonial thought, the Black Radical Tradition, and women of color feminisms. She is currently working on a research project that examines how the Nubi, a minoritized community in Kenya and Uganda, were rendered stateless and non-native subjects in colonial and post-colonial Kenya.
