Prof. Umoh is a faculty member at the Department of Political Science, University of Jos, Plateau State where her teaching and research trajectories are transdisciplinary, with a focus on social policy research and development processes that span multi-level governance, public administration, gender studies, and most recently, public health. Her interests are in the gaps that arise from the impact of the socio-culture and other variables on policy formulation and implementation, and restrict access to deliverables of education, health, governance, and conflict mediation, particularly for vulnerable groups, with implications for national development. Her research has interrogated the intersections between governance processes and community values, ethno-religious cleavages, indigenous engagements, majority-minority debates, diversity, insecurity, conflict, corruption, and other variables with seemingly ‘ungovernable’ characteristics. She holds degrees in Political Science (B.Sc.), Public Administration (MPA), Education (PGDE), Policy and Development Studies (PhD), and Global Public Health (MSc.).
