Dr John D McInally
Research Fellow in Francophone African Studies
Biography
I joined St Andrews in March 2024 after the completion of my PhD at University of Liverpool where I also gained my BA and MRes qualifications. I'm originally from Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire - just an hour's drive from St Andrews along the A91.
Research areas
I am currently working with Prof Nicki Hitchcott (University of St Andrews) and Dr Alice Karekezi (University of Rwanda) on the deportation of Métis children from Ruanda-Urundi carried out by the Belgian state in the late 1950s and early 1960s. A particular focal point of our research is uncovering the stories of the mothers of the stolen children.
