Rebecca Wai

Rebecca's research sits at the crossroads of migration, distributive and environmental politics. She works to understand how migrants and refugees are able to gain equitable access to natural resources when they settle in host communities, especially in the age of growing resource scarcity. She is particularly interested in how local institutions can help integrate migrants into host communities and reduce tensions between the two parties.
