About Me

My name is Tunde Adeyemo Alabi. I was born in Lagos, Nigeria. I take pride in my roots from Ibadan, Oyo State.

I started my education at Karaole Primary School in Ifako-Ijaiye before moving on to the contiguous Lagos African Church Grammar School (Lafrogramms) for my secondary schooling. I had a brief stint at Omolara Comprehensive College. I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees in sociology from the University of Lagos (Unilag), and I completed my PhD in sociology at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. My doctoral thesis explored the experiences of Nigerian migrants in the United States and the United Kingdom, focusing on health and employment through a mixed-methods approach.

Since 2016, I have been teaching at Unilag. I enjoy playing table tennis and received awards for being the best table tennis player in King Jaja Hall and in the Faculty of Social Sciences during my undergraduate studies at Unilag.

I am the current managing editor of the Unilag Sociological Review (USR).
