Introduction
 
I am a post-doctoral researcher and Co-PI of The Bad Project: Knowledge and aid beyond the project economy based at Tampere University and a visiting scholar at the Migration Institute of Finland. I obtained a PhD in International Conflict Analysis from the University of Kent, UK. My research with The Bad Project looks into, well, bad projects in the academic and humanitarian sectors and my research with the Migration Institute of Finland looks into the subject of Return in the case of post-Assad Syria.
