Research interests
My research and writing has been published in African and Black Diaspora: An International Journal, the Journal of Postcolonial Writing and Wasafiri. I am currently developing my first monograph, Radical Bodies: Reimagining Solidarity in Contemporary Black Feminist Fiction, which traces how contemporary Black women writers intervene in global conversations about Black feminism by transforming the theory and practice of solidarity. Examining writing by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dionne Brand, Tsitsi Dangarembga and Bernardine Evaristo, my book is concerned with how fictional bodily encounters spark moments of tension and rapport that generate solidarity.
