Robert Lawrence McKenzie is a PhD candidate at the School of Oriental and African Studies. His thesis, entitled “Against Refugees,” is an ethnography of asylum-seeking amongst sub-Saharan men in Cairo, Egypt, one of the world’s largest urban environments for refugees. His thesis explores the historical events and political processes — including the roles of domestic and international actors — that have shaped and institutionalised the modern asylum-system in Egypt. His research draws special attention to the macro-power forces that influence human action. Robert can be contacted at bmck15(AT)gmail.com.
