Broadly as a political economy and political studies scholar, I have interest in the state and traditional mediation of land access, use and redistribution in Uganda. I am particularly fascinated by the state return of kingdom assets (Ebyaitu/Ebyaffe) together with the land relations and class struggles the phenomenon reproduces and naturalizes.
