Tegan Hadisi
Tegan is a DPhil candidate in International Development at the University of Oxford. Her research is funded in part by the Oxford Department of International Development, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the W.L. Mackenzie King Trust.
Building directly on her MPhil research, Tegan’s work lies at the intersections of large-scale infrastructural projects and visions of the future in West and East Asia.
Prior to her DPhil, Tegan completed an MPhil in Development Studies at Oxford, for which she was awarded the Examiner’s Award. Her master’s thesis examined the role of technocrats in large-scale infrastructural projects.
Beyond her doctoral work, she is co-authoring a book ‘Migrant TikTok: The Struggle for Digital Power’, which explores the effects of digital platforms on migration narratives. For the research underpinning this project, she was honoured with the Gil Loescher Memorial Fund Award.
