Darlington Tshuma holds a Ph.D. in Public Administration with specialisation in Peace and Conflict Studies. His research touches on various aspects of African Studies cutting across precolonial, colonial, and post-colonial periods. His publications are on governance, colonial encounters, human rights, democracy, human security, African development, African nationalism, and contemporary African politics. Current research interest includes studying the interconnections between displacement, conflict, human rights, and migration in Africa. His work delves into the complex dynamics that shape the experiences of individuals and communities affected by displacement, conflict and forced migration in the African context. He is particularly interested in identifying and analysing key factors that contribute to forced migration, such as armed conflicts, political instability, environmental degradation, and socioeconomic disparities. By mapping these complex interconnections, his work sheds light on the underlying causes and consequences of displacement. Through his interdisciplinary approach, Darlington’s work strives to generate knowledge that supports evidence-based policies, interventions, and advocacy efforts aimed at addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by displaced populations while promoting sustainable peace in Africa.
