- Affiliation: Durham University, Department of Geography
- Research Focus: Humanitarian economies, migration, land rights, and climate change impacts
Her research explores how social assemblages form during crises, analyzing the interplay between humanitarian interventions and local livelihood strategies. She emphasizes ethnographic co-production and participatory methods, particularly in South Sudan, the Horn, and the Sahel. Her publications span topics like refugee camp governance, post-conflict land control, and urban hedging strategies.
Leonie supervises PhD students working on climate-related displacement, including Belen Desmaison Estrada (flood resilience in Peru) and Tilly Hall (wildfire risk in California). She collaborates with the Likikiri Collective and South Sudanese researchers on arts-based participatory projects.
