Christa Kuntzelman

Refugee Researcher and Political Science, PhD

Doctoral DegreeNorthwestern University

United States

Summary

My dissertation examines variation in how urban refugees in Uganda understand their rights, restrictions, and responsibilities, and inconsistently understand the state and non-state actors who provide these; as well as examines the effects of having or lacking this knowledge. My broader research centers on refugee representation, migration research ethics, and conceptualizing systematic inclusion of and partnership with refugees for research agenda setting, humanitarian provision, and migration policy and decision-making. Beyond research, I have extensive experience as an advocate to detained unaccompanied minors seeking asylum, as well as work for family reconnection and reunification with the American Red Cross.
