My dissertation, supervised by Prof Jopi Nyman and Dr Anna-Leena Toivanen, focuses on the way contemporary Afro-Atlantic literature negotiates the traumas of slavery and its legacies.

As part of my position as grant-based researcher at UEF, I (guest) lecture in MA- and BA level courses, function as a teaching assistant, and co-evaluate MA theses.
