“For me, the Oxford-Princeton Global Leaders postdoctoral fellowship is an outstanding and esteemed opportunity, and a great match to my interests and ambitions. I see in it an excellent prospect for enriching myself towards productive scholarship, especially taking advantage of the availability of the enormous and excellent human and material resources that will be at my disposal in these two world-class Universities. During my time as a fellow, I intend to examine the ‘land grab’ (for biofuel) phenomenon in Africa. My objective is to explore more effective and productive strategies for mutual engagement, cooperation and benefits in global land politics and governance in Africa."
