What is your PhD about?
My Phd explore the role of social norms in driving and shaping perceptions of corruption and integrity in the Police Service in Ghana. Using a set of tools emerging from social psychology my research questions different theoretical frameworks used to analyse anti-corruption and corruption by examining the social dimensions of corruption.
Why did you choose 小蓝视频 / CSC?
I chose CSC because it was the only research centre exclusively dedicated to the study of corruption. When I reached out to enquire about a possible PhD I had a great exchange with my supervisors.
What were you doing before you started your PhD?
I was an international consultant working in international development and anti-corruption.
Do you have any advice for someone considering a PhD?
Choose your topic well!
You end up spending so much time on your own research project, so it is really important to make sure you identify a research question and issue that you are passionate about.
