Segments of their field research have received support from the NYU Migration Network, where she is a 2023-24 graduate student fellow. Ainomugisha also serves as a Research Assistant with the Critical Racial Anti-Colonial Study (CRACS) Co-Lab and an Editorial Assistant with the Communication, Culture & Critique (CCC) Journal.
