Anne is a social scientist whose recent and current research has focused on humanitarian emergencies, displacement and migration; the politics of aid; and social protection in fragile, conflict and violence (FCV) affected states. While her dissertation employed qualitative and ethnographic methods, she is also partial to mixed methodologies and draws from the comparativist tradition in her work.
While completing her PhD, she was supported by the LSE Studentship Funding Scheme and worked as a researcher for the World Bank on qualitative research projects examining social protection and displacement in fragile and conflict-affected states in west and central Africa. Prior to joining academia, she previously worked as a conflict and development researcher for US government agencies, the World Bank and the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security.
Anne completed her master's degree from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service where she concentrated on sub-state conflict, displacement and post-conflict democratisation and development. She also received a certificate in Refugees, Migration & Humanitarian Emergencies from the Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown. In 2009, she completed her BA Honours degree at Concordia University in Montreal, and she has since accumulated ten years of experience in the global development and humanitarian sectors.
Her current primary project aims to develop her dissertation work on host government obstruction of humanitarian aid into a book for publication in an academic press. Her research agenda aims to further her current work on the politics of aid and displacement but also seeks to advance pressing questions about social cohesion and democratic processes in both higher- and lower-income contexts.
Anne has native fluency in both French and English, and speaks intermediate, conversational Spanish. She also strives to learn local languages whenever given the chance and has lived and worked in many different countries in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
