Sandra Fullerton Joireman is the Weinstein Chair of International Studies and a Professor of Political Science at the University of Richmond.[1] Her work focuses on property

rights, post-conflict return migration, and customary law.[2]

Biography

An alumna of Clinton High School in Clinton, Iowa, Joireman was inducted into the Clinton High School Hall of Honor in 2013.[3] She attended Washington University in St. Louis, graduating summa cum laude with degrees in anthropology and political science in 1989.[4] She earned a master’s degree (1992) and a Ph.D. (1995) in political science from the University of California Los Angeles.[4]

Joireman has worked as a researcher for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, served as Chair of the Board of Directors for the Bread of the World Institute[5], and consulted for international organizations on economic policy, law, and development.[6] She has also partnered with the Spatial Inequalities in African Political Economy Research Project,[7] studying topics related to land use such as the digitization maps from the Kenyan National Land Commission.[8]

Research

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.[9]

In 2017, Joireman was awarded the Sanjaya Lall prize, recognizing exceptional works published in Oxford Development Studies.[10] Her paper, Protecting Future Rights for Future Citizens: children's property rights in fragile environments, examined the ability of displaced adults to reclaim property lost during humanitarian crises as children.[11]

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.[12] 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.[12]
