Mozambique
I am an Anthropology PhD candidate at the University of Johannesburg, currently doing my fieldwork in rural southern Mozambique. My research is on youth lifeworlds and aspirations, with a focus on the influence of local churches and shifts in masculinities. I have a background in youth and community development programs, having worked in parole and probation, social education, diversion and recreational programs in both Venezuela and Australia. Previously I worked in media production and journalism.
