Daniel William Szabo

Welcome to my YouTube channel. I am an educator and researcher. I am writing about the experiences of migrants who have travelled high-risk routes through the Sahara Desert in an effort to reach Europe. My research focuses on the role of personal agency and the types of network-derived social capital in the survival strategies of those navigating increasingly securitised migration environments.

Currently, I serve in a time-bound role as Director of Education and Research at Youth For Excellence Association (YFE). YFE is a Canadian not-for-profit organisation that delivers educational research and training. My work in this area centres on curriculum design, supporting the initial development of YFE's newest educational research project, and the strengthening of training programs. I am drawing on my background in applied social sciences, communications, and political science to implement new systems and expand the organisation's impact.
