Moses Agyemang

Background and experience

Moses Agyemang is a PhD Research Fellow at the Department of Global Development and Planning at the University of Agder, Norway. His doctoral research examines how belonging, inclusion, and recognition are shaped through governance decisions, institutional practices, and policy enactment in multicultural school contexts. His work draws on political geography, education policy, and global teacher education to analyse how municipal and school-level governance structures enable or constrain equitable participation and recognition among diverse student populations.

He holds a Master’s degree in Global Development and Planning (2024) from the University of Agder, where his thesis examined the social integration of refugees and its implications for inclusive and sustainable development in Norway, with particular focus on institutional access, participation, and structural barriers. He also holds a second Master’s degree in Global Journalism (2023) from NLA University College, where his thesis explored media representation of LGBTQ+ issues in Ghana, addressing questions of visibility, framing, media ethics, and self-censorship. Completing two Master’s degrees in close succession reflects his strong commitment to academic excellence, intellectual growth, and sustained research engagement.

Moses earned his Bachelor’s degree in Development Communication (2019) from the University for Development Studies (UDS), Ghana. During his undergraduate studies, he served as Department President, demonstrating leadership and student representation capacity. He graduated as the Most Outstanding Student in his department for his cohort year, in recognition of his academic performance and overall contribution. His undergraduate training built a strong foundation in strategic communication, participatory development, and critical social analysis, which continues to inform his interdisciplinary research trajectory.

His broader research interests include inclusive education, global citizenship, migration and integration, governance and recognition practices, media representation, AI and digital inequality, and multicultural pedagogies. He has contributed to scholarly work on minority language preservation through digital filmmaking in Ghana and has conducted qualitative research on refugee integration, media systems, and educational inclusion across contexts.

In addition to his research activities, Moses serves as a member of the Advisory Board of SiN, contributing to student engagement, institutional dialogue, and academic community development. Across his academic and professional journey, he remains committed to producing socially relevant research that bridges theory and practice and advances inclusion, cultural understanding, and social cohesion in education, media, and development contexts.
