Remoboko Visualizations
I created a series of interactive visualizations for Remoboko (Religion, Morality and Boko in West Africa: Students Training for a Good Life), a Leibniz Junior Research Group based at the Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO) that ran from 2018 to 2023. The project examined the presence of Salafism and Pentecostalism on university campuses in Niger, Nigeria, Togo, and Benin. These visualizations make the group's research outputs and collaborative network more accessible.
Book: Points of Interest Map
This interactive map accompanies my book Religious Activism on Campuses in Togo and Benin (De Gruyter, 2025), part of the Remoboko project. It plots the geographic locations mentioned throughout the book—universities, mosques, churches, headquarters of religious associations, and other significant sites in Togo, Benin, and the broader West African region.
Research Group Outputs
Over its five-year lifespan, Remoboko collaborated with 93 researchers from 24 countries, producing over 180 publications and activities. I created visualizations to document this collective output:
Publications and Activities at a Glance
- Stacked bar chart and treemap showing the evolution and breakdown of publications and activities from 2018 to 2024, categorized by type (journal articles, book chapters, conference papers, lectures, PhD dissertations, etc.)
- Word clouds (French and English) generated from abstracts, highlighting the key themes and concepts across the group's work
Collaborators at a Glance
- Gender distribution — pie chart showing the breakdown of collaborators (37.6% female, 62.4% male)
- Geographic distribution — bar chart of collaborators by country, with Germany, USA, Niger, and Nigeria among the most represented
- Institutional affiliations — overview of the universities and research centers involved
Collaborators by Gender
Word Clouds
These word clouds provide an insight into the work of the Remoboko research group, derived from the available abstracts of all publications and activities of members and collaborators. Presented in French and English, they highlight the most common terms and provide a visual summary of the key themes and concepts that define our research.
