Research

Elizabeth Cooper is a social anthropologist interested in the experiences of children and youth, especially in relation to social justice, protest, violence, and belonging. She has been conducting research in East Africa, and primarily Kenya, since 2003. 

Elizabeth had conducted extensive research about young people鈥檚 experiences of education and protest. Her award-winning 2022 book entitled ''鈥痚xplores how young people learn to understand and influence the workings of power and justice in their society. Through an in-depth study of Kenyan secondary students鈥� use of arson in their schools, Burning Ambition accounts for how, and what, a youthful cohort has learned about the entwinement of violence and authority in Kenya.

Elizabeth鈥檚 current research focuses on hiking and the social history of mountaineering in Kenya. This research addresses how current initiatives challenge longtime exclusion of black Kenyans from experiencing their own country through tourism and recreation, and the significance of outdoor access to urban lifestyles.

Elizabeth has also conducted longitudinal ethnographic research, begun in 2007, about how HIV/AIDS and chronic poverty have affected the lives of young people and communities in western Kenya. That research attends to changing ideas and practices of sociality, and specifically people鈥檚 kinship and caring relations, intergenerational relations, and relations with the state and non-governmental actors.鈥� 
 
Elizabeth has previously conducted research concerning the lives of children and young people in refugee camps in Kenya and Uganda for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and CARE International, as well as research about women鈥檚 poverty and inheritance rights in Ghana, Mozambique, Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya for the Overseas Development Institute. In her early career, Elizabeth worked as a political assistant to Canada鈥檚 Minister of the Environment and as the public affairs officer for the Canadian Embassy and Canadian International Development Agency in Hanoi, Vietnam.
