In September 2014, Jonah received a grant from the department of Culture and Global Studies, Faculty of Humanities, Aalborg University, Denmark to pursue a PhD programme in Interdisciplinary Discourse Studies. In his thesis, he explores climate change as a global concern and examines how community managed small-scale irrigation scheme farmers are sustaining their livelihoods by adapting to the impacts of climate change using their indigenous knowledge. The thesis draws inspiration from Fairclough's critical discourse analysis and Gee's illustration and labelling of discourses.
