Her educational background includes: PhD in Development Studies (awarded October 26, 2007) MSc in Social Policy and Planning for Developing Countries (awarded October 31, 1991) BA Hons in Sociology and African and Asian Studies (awarded August 31, 1982) Professor Hammar's research spans several interconnected themes. Her current focus is on 'certifications of citizenship' in Africa, examining how identity documents co-produce citizens and states. This builds on her long-standing interest in marginality, displacement, belonging, property, authority and citizenship. She initially focused on land and agrarian change in Zimbabwe and Mozambique (1997-2012), then developed a relational approach to displacement economies (2006-2014), and later shifted to urban studies (from 2012), exploring urban displacement, property, and citizenship in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on African political dynamics, particularly around citizenship, displacement, and state formation. The trend shows increasing attention to documentation regimes and their effects on citizen-state relations, as seen in her CERTIZENS project. Her work bridges theoretical innovation with deep empirical engagement, particularly in Zimbabwean contexts but increasingly through comparative work with Ghana and Uganda. Professor Hammar has held significant external positions including: President of AEGIS (Africa-Europe Group for Interdisciplinary Studies) from June 2019 to June 2023 Board member of AEGIS since June 2015 Board member of NARN (Nordic Africa Research Network) since 2015 Board member of the Journal of Southern Africa Studies She has supervised over 70 MA theses since 2010 and currently supervises multiple PhD students both at the University of Copenhagen and through collaborative arrangements in Ghana and Uganda as part of the CERTIZENS project.

His research critically examines state-formation processes, identification systems, and bureaucratic practices across African contexts, with specialized focus on Somaliland and Uganda. His academic credentials include: MSc in Africa and International Development MA in African Studies (awarded 1 September 2013) Wolff investigates the material dimensions of state infrastructure , particularly ID documents, to unravel how states classify and govern populations. His work exposes the inherent tension between digital identification's potential for service delivery enhancement and its capacity for surveillance and exclusion. Through ethnographic examination of traditional authority in rural Africa, he illuminates intersections between customary laws and formal state institutions, directly contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) frameworks. Analysis of Wolff's publication history (2013-2022) reveals evolving scholarly emphasis from Somali piracy and Somaliland's political development toward contemporary digital governance challenges and climate-related diaspora mobilization. His interdisciplinary approach bridges political anthropology with development studies, consistently interrogating power dynamics in state-citizen relations and the unintended consequences of certification infrastructures across African societies. Currently embedded in the Certifications of Citizenship in Africa (CERTIZENS) project, Wolff explores digital ID management systems' societal implications. No formal advisees or scientific awards are documented in the available information.
