Мен Назарбаев Университетінің саясаттану және халықаралық қатынастар кафедрасының ассистент профессорымын. Осы уақытқа дейін Африканың Сахарадан шығуына бағытталған менің зерттеуім жергілікті және ұлттық элиталардың саяси дамудағы рөлін қарастырады. Мені элиталық және интеллитуалды бәсекелестіктің мемлекеттік қабілеттілік пен нәтижелілікке, ұжымдық сәйкестіктің саяси айқындығына және қоғамның әл-ауқатына әсері ерекше қызықтырады. Мен салыстырмалы саясат, Африка саясаты, халықаралық даму және зерттеу әдістері бойынша курстар өткіземін.
