Dr. Sarah Linn serves as a Research Associate at Manchester Metropolitan University within the Applied Social Science Research division. Her work centers on refugee and migrant communities in urban environments across the Middle East and the United Kingdom, examining critical issues of space, mobility, security, identity, and belonging through feminist and creative qualitative methodologies.
Her educational background includes:
- PhD in Urban Studies & Planning, University of Sheffield (2020)
- MA in International Development & Planning, University of Sheffield (2014)
- BA (Hons) in International History & Politics, University of Leeds (2009)
Dr. Linn's research program investigates the lived experiences of marginalized populations, particularly refugees and migrants, in urban settings. She employs innovative qualitative and participatory approaches to explore how individuals navigate security, construct identities, and develop senses of belonging within complex urban landscapes. Her work often focuses on gendered dimensions and the impact of colonial and neo-colonial spatialities, with significant fieldwork conducted in Jordan and Lebanon.
Analysis of her publication record from 2020-2025 reveals a strong emphasis on Syrian refugee communities in Jordan and Lebanon, with particular attention to youth and women. Her studies frequently utilize oral histories, diary methods, and participatory mapping to examine themes of return migration, urban mobility, leisure spaces, and the interplay between formal and informal security systems. A notable trend is her exploration of entangled mobilities and the role of material culture in displacement contexts.
