Bio
Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh
Clayton’s PhD and subsequent publications analyse the economic constraints imposed on Burundian and Congolese refugees in Tanzania through strict encampment policies as well as the ingenuity and agency refugees demonstrate daily in circumventing these restrictions through mobility. More recently he works as a Research Fellow for the GCRF Protracted Displacement project which aims at improving healthcare at the intersection of gender and protracted displacement amongst Somali and Congolese refugees/IDPs (https://displacement.sps.ed.ac.uk/).
