Professor Patricia Daley is a Professor of the Human Geography of Africa at the University of Oxford, an Official Fellow and Geography Tutor, and co-lead of an interdisciplinary network called "Race and Resistance across borders in the long twentieth century," which is based at TORCH. She has taught a range of human geography topics, as well as specialist courses on African societies and environments. Prof. Daley’s principal research interests are contemporary forced migration and its relationship with identity politics; the combination of feminist geopolitics, critical race theory, and African feminist in illuminating the ways in which race, gender, militarism, and violence intersect across transnational space; and the relationship between conservation, resource extraction, and rural livelihoods within a political ecology framework. The geographical loci of research are East and Central Africa, and the UK.
Professor Daley sits on the editorial board of the journal Gender Place and Culture and is a co-editor of the journal Africa World Review. She is also a peer reviewer for a range of geography and area studies journals, including Political Geography, Third World Quarterly, Journal of Eastern African Studies, Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, Journal of Modern African Studies, and Journal of Refugee Studies.
