About me

My area of expertise lies at the intersection of African history, British colonial history, and media history. My research is about the links between British newspaper coverage of Africa during the period of decolonisation and broader political, social and cultural aspects of the process.I have a PhD in International History from the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳, where I teach courses on empires and resistance in global history, and historical approaches to the modern world as well as, until recently, an interdisciplinary policy oriented course on contemporary global affairs. At SOAS, I have convened courses on the history of Africa from the birth of civilisations to the present day, society and culture in twentieth-century Africa, slavery in West Africa, and gender.
