Current Research
Supervised by Dr Anashri Pillay and Dr Henry Jones, Ranime’s doctoral research takes an interdisciplinary approach to examine the role of international human rights law in response to ethnocultural dynamics resulting from border configurations in post-colonial Africa. Specifically, her research uses Ghana and Nigeria as case studies to both investigate the intra-state ethnocultural consequences of uti possidetis and also to examine to what extent international human rights law can mitigate such problems.
