Research Fellow

Kelsey A. Dalrymple is a qualitative researcher and methodologist, as well as an educational anthropologist. Her research is rooted in critical theory and spans fields such as qualitative inquiry, comparative and international education, critical refugee studies, and the anthropologies of education, childhood, development, and forced migration. Dalrymple is also an Education in Emergencies (EiE) practitioner with nearly 15 years of experience in education and humanitarian response across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Additionally, she is a certified yoga teacher who teaches vinyasa-style yoga for all ages and levels. Her work focuses on disrupting traditional extractive research paradigms, particularly with vulnerable and marginalized communities, and examining processes of knowledge production, structural violence, systemic inequities, and how crisis-affected communities experience various educational paradigms.
