Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Tonah is well known internationally for his outstanding social research in the field of chieftaincy, migration, ethnicity and collective conflicts. While being firmly anchored in sociology, his research always has an interdisciplinary dimension with a multi-method approach. During his stay in Germany he intends to do further research on illegalized migration and plans a contrastive comparison with the studies of his German collaborators in this field.
