Biography

An alumna of Clinton High School in Clinton, Iowa, Joireman attended Washington University in St. Louis, graduating summa cum laude with degrees in anthropology and political science in 1989.

Research

Joireman's 2022 book, Peace, Preference and Property: Return Migration After Violent Conflict, examined factors influencing return migration after violent conflict, highlighting the key variables of time, political change, property restitution, and ethnicity.[4] The book discussed the challenges of intergenerational return migration and property restitution in customary land systems and addressed case studies such as Kosovo, Liberia, and Uganda.[4]

Her 2012 book, Why There is No Government: Enforcing Property Rights in Common Law Africa, focused on how property law was enforced and who did enforce it in Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda.[5]
