GEG welcomes new Global Leader Fellows to Oxford

GEG is pleased to welcome Peace Media and Kako Nubukpo, the first of a new intake of Global Leader Fellows to Oxford for the 2015-16 academic year.

Dr Kako Nubupko is managing director of the Centre Autonome d’Etudes et de Renforcement de Capacités pour le Développement au Togo (CADERDT) that was recently established by the Government of Togo with the support of the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF). He has previously worked at the Head Office of the West African States Central Bank (BCEAO) in Dakar, Senegal, as well as in senior positions at the Institute of Sahel in Bamako, Mali, and at the School of Management in Lyon, France.  

Dr Peace A. Medie is a research fellow in the Legon Centre for International Affairs and Diplomacy (LECIAD) at the University of Ghana.  Her research and teaching interests include international relations, gender and international security, and civilian protection.

Peace and Kako will be joined by Seydou Ouedraogo and Nematullah Bizhan when they also arrive in Oxford in October.

The Global Leaders Fellowhip programme provides exceptional early career researchers with a unique opportunity to work on global governance and the role of developing and emerging countries in the world political economy.

The programme offers two-year post-doctoral fellowships to nationals from non-OECD countries, allowing them to develop and test their ideas at two of the world’s leading research universities.
