I am an early modernist by training, with a research profile encompassing indigenous African epistemologies in the construction of the Americas, the formation of maroon communities around food sovereignty, and African intellectual history, with a particular focus on the contributions of African women.
I have been the recipient of individual and collaborative grants throughout my academic career, which has equipped me with expertise in design, management and budgeting.
My research interests include extending collaboration in projects that involve the global south and those that empower women.
I am excited to announce the upcoming publication of my first book, entitled "African Memories, Foodways and Freedom in Colonial Colombia's Gold Mines," published by the British Academy and Oxford University Press.
I have held two postdoctoral fellowships: a British Academy Newton International Fellowship at King's College London and a fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, University of Edinburgh. Additionally, I have been a visiting researcher at the Centre of History, University of Lisbon.
