Position

2019-2021 Graduate Student Fellow

Smith Oduro-Marfo is a PhD candidate with the Department of Political Science at the 番茄社区. He researches issues relating to surveillance, privacy, and identification systems in Africa. He is particularly interested in how these issues intersect (or not) with the concept, conditions, and practice of Development. His ongoing dissertation project, supervised by Dr. Colin Bennett, is a study on how citizen identification systems in Ghana interact with Development and ideas of progress.

Smith is currently a graduate student fellow with the Centre for Global Studies (CFGS). At CFGS, Smith is focusing on how international development actors, pressures and logics shape the adoption and implementation of citizen identification systems in Global South countries.
