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).

Research interests

My research interests span across three areas of sociology: migration and mobility, population health, and crime and deviance. My publications and reviews for refereed journals illustrate these three areas. Although I have written extensively in all of these areas, my current research focuses on their intersection. For instance, I am examining how migration influences and is influenced by health, particularly the health challenges and opportunities facing African migrants and the experiences of African healthcare professionals in Western countries. I am also exploring the patterns of crime committed by migrants and the victimization experienced by African migrants.

In my research, I employ both quantitative and qualitative methods, utilizing both primary data obtained directly from individuals in society and secondary data sourced from social media, the Demographic and Health Survey, the Afrobarometer, and the World Values Survey.

I have contributed to and reviewed articles for various peer-reviewed journals
