Kekeli Ayivi

I am a PhD researcher in the Inequality and Racism unit, working under the supervision of Fanny D’hont and Pieter-Paul Verhaeghe. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Aix-Marseille University and a Master’s degree in Migration Studies from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS). Throughout my studies, I have focused on racial discrimination affecting ethnic minorities and the governance of migration-related diversity in Europe.
Within BRISPO, my research explores how structures of racism and whiteness shape educational inequalities across European contexts, from a critical quantitative and critical race theoretical perspective. More broadly, I am interested in migration and mobilities, racism, discrimination, and Black European Studies.
