Research

Joireman is known for her work in East Africa where she focuses on land tenure issues. Her 2012 book, Where There is No Government: Enforcing Property Rights in Common Law Africa, focused on how property law was enforced and who did enforce it in Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda.[5] In 2000 she published on property rights in Ethiopia and Eritrea.[6] In 2017, Joireman was awarded the Sanjaya Lall prize[7] for her paper in Oxford Development Studies that examined the ability of displaced adults to reclaim property lost during humanitarian crises as children.[8] Joireman's 2022 book, Peace, Preference and Property: Return Migration After Violent Conflict, examined factors influencing return migration after violent conflict, highlighting the key variables of time, political change, property restitution, and ethnicity. The book discussed the challenges of intergenerational return migration and property restitution in customary land systems and addressed case studies such as Kosovo, Liberia, and Uganda.[9]
