Biography

Dominic Pasura is a Sociologist, Author and Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Glasgow. His areas of research interest include African studies, transnational relations and processes, diaspora studies and the sociology of religion, as well as migration and development.

His publications include the books African Transnational Diasporas: Fractured Communities and Plural Identities of Zimbabweans in Britain (Palgrave Macmillan 2014), which proposes a framework for understanding African transnational diasporas as well as charts the migration, settlement and transnational connections of Zimbabweans in Britain. He co-edited the academic volume Migration, Transnationalism, and Catholicism: Global Perspectives (with Marta Erdal, Palgrave Macmillan 2016), which explores how migration and transnationalism are producing diverse spaces and encounters that are moulding the Roman Catholic Church as institution and parish, pilgrimage and network, community and people. He recently co-edited the Routledge Handbook of Contemporary African Migration (with Daniel Makina, Routledge 2023), which offers an authoritative multi-disciplinary overview of contemporary African international migration.

He has authored or co-authored over thirty publications in journals and edited volumes, including Ethnic and Racial Studies, International Migration, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Ethnography, Men and Masculinities, Journal of Contemporary Religion, Journal of Religion in Africa, and Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power.

Prior to joining the University of Glasgow, Dominic taught and researched at the Universities of University College London, Middlesex and Huddersfield.

Grants

  • As the Principal Investigator, Dominic is currently working on an Economic and Social Research Council-funded project, "The Religious and Spiritual Lives of Transnational Young People of African Migrant Background," from May 2023 to May 2026. (£882,100, fEC)

    The project investigates the role of religion and spirituality in constructing youth identities and a sense of belonging among transnational young people (aged 15-35) of Nigerian and Zimbabwean migrant backgrounds in London and Birmingham (UK), Lagos (Nigeria), Harare (Zimbabwe) and Johannesburg (South Africa).

    The project brings together international scholars and key stakeholders interested in the study of religion and migration between the UK and Africa. The fieldwork sites include four countries (the responsible institution in brackets): United Kingdom (University of Glasgow), Nigeria (University of Calabar), Zimbabwe (University of Zimbabwe) and South Africa (University of Pretoria) and five cities: London, Birmingham, Harare, Johannesburg and Lagos. The study focuses on young people living in urban neighbourhoods and practitioners of Christian, Muslim and African Indigenous Religions faiths.
