About

Charlotte Brown is a Researcher at FLIA and a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in the School of Society and Environmental Science. She holds a BA in History from the University of Cambridge, and an MSc and PhD in International Development from the London School of Economics. She also teaches at King's College London in the School of Education, Communication and Society.

Since 2018, Charlotte has conducted extensive fieldwork in northern and north-western Uganda. Her research combines ethnographic and interdisciplinary approaches to examine the socio-political dimensions of migration and humanitarian governance. Her current work focuses on multi-species storytelling in displacement contexts and explores how food insecurity and structural inequalities shape migration experiences in northern Uganda's borderlands.

Charlotte actively engages in policy discussions concerning the restructuring of humanitarian aid and participates in creative collaborations to amplify these narratives. Her work bridges academic research with practical policy implications, contributing to both scholarly understanding and humanitarian practice in East African contexts.
