Desmond Oklikah Ofori, Graduate Fellow
Desmond Oklikah Ofori is an emerging scholar and a SSHRC doctoral fellow in the Department of Geography and Environment at Western University. His research integrates antiracist-feminist intersectionality, EDI-foci and Social Network Analysis (SNA) to better understand complex issues related to immigrants, housing, health, food (in)security among others. Desmond, through his works, aims to center, document and deconstruct the narratives and lived experiences of minoritized groups by highlighting urban inequalities and spatial injustices that impede lived realities, especially the “successful” integration of immigrants in Canada. Desmond holds a Master of Arts in History from the University of Guelph, Ontario and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana, where he graduated as best student. His research has been published in diverse journals including
