PhD
Henrietta Nyamnjoh is a PhD candidate working on migration and
ICTs. Her research forms part of a larger research on Mobile Africa
Revisited. Prior to her current study she conducted research amongst
the Senegalese fisher migrants tracing their migration to the Canary
Islands and to understand the high prevalence amongst the fishermen.
The findings of this study suggest that migration is a rite of
passage amongst these migrants and cultural factors plays major role
as well as policies governing fishing in Senegal.
Her current research entitled “Building bridges and harnessing
opportunities: ICTs and mobility amongst Pinyin and Mankon migrants
in South Africa, the Netherlands and Cameroon”. The study seeks to
understand migrants’ appropriation of the new Information and
Communication Technologies to link home and host country and the
wider migrant community. How does this change existing social
structures and reconfigure new ones. And also, look at the dynamic
relationship between ICTs and mobility.
