Lecturer in Sustainable Development, University of St Andrews
Ife's work advances an interdisciplinary understanding of oceans’ sustainability, governance and criminality as a question of resource management, environmental justice, and the disproportionate effects of depleting marine resources on inequality, poverty, and insecurity.
She has extensive field research experience with strategic maritime stakeholders and West and Central African communities.
Ife has contributed to high-level reports on ocean governance and security, gender and maritime security at the regional and global levels, and published extensively on the blue economy, fisheries governance, marine pollution, maritime security and maritime boundary delineation.
She holds a PhD in Leadership, Security and Development from King’s College London, an MA in Conflict, Security, and Development, a BA in International Relations, Peace and Conflict Studies, and a preparatory Diploma in Law.
