He holds a master’s degree in natural resources management, a master’s degree in human geography, and a PhD in human geography (KU Leuven, Belgium). He considers himself as a human geographer by training and a political ecologist by specialty.

He seeks to enhance sustainability by developing inclusive research methodologies based on three cornerstones of geography (time, space, and demography). He is currently involved in developing inclusive methodologies in sustainable food system transformation with a focus on the consumers.

He holds a Bachelors degree in Geography (University of Education, Winneba – Ghana) and Master’s degree in Urban Environmental Management from Wageningen University and Research. With exposure to knowledge coproduction and critical sustainability research, he considers himself a critical human (urban) geographer with expertise in mixed methodologies which he has deployed several of them in his specialties: food system and green cities. Within these specialties, Samuel is currently exploring the question: how transformative research approach can help understand how power relations and social inequalities are navigated, reproduced, and contested in cities. His research ambition is to enhance the discourse of critical sustainability science, where indigenous geographies are given priority in creating sustainable futures through interdisciplinary research.
