Guest Speaker
Dr King Omeihe
Dr King Omeihe is Senior Lecturer of Marketing and Small Business at the University of the West of Scotland. He holds the position of President at the Academy for African Studies, Chair of the BAM Leadership and Leadership Development SIG, and Chair of Ethnic Minority Groups at the Institute for Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
His research interest in economic sociology examines the role of markets and the emergence of economic institutions. Much of this work is centrally concerned with understanding how institutional arrangements are interpreted across contexts. This includes examining the reflexive basis of reputation in multiplex networks, identifying the sources of trust in low-trust societies, and examining networks and their sources of cooperation.
He is a selected fellow of the West African Transitional Justice Centre and serves as a Senior Economic Advisor at the Marcel House.
