Dr Nyenyezi Bisoka

I am a lawyer and political scientist. I work in the African Great Lakes Region on the access to natural resources, the peasantry and armed groups and the afro-critical perspective in social sciences. I work on three theoretical and epistemological challenges that I'm developing in recent years through several collaborations: the subjective approach to power in access to natural resources (since my PhD thesis); the reformulation of the peasant issue in studies on armed groups in Africa (as part of a postdoc at Ghent University); and the development of an Afro-critical perspective in social sciences (in a project with Cambridge University and the African Postgraduate Academy of Goethe-Universität Frankfurt). 

Aymar was an AfOx-ASC Fellow in 2019.

During his 8 week AfOx fellowship in 2018, Aymar was hosted by the African Studies Centre and St Antony's College.
