My research and teaching focus on francophone Caribbean and African literature, with interdisciplinary specializations in Afro-diasporic literary and cultural movements, and slavery in the French Atlantic. I am particularly interested in the ways in which people of African-descent in the francophone world have contributed to notions of citizenship and freedom on a global scale. My current book-length manuscript examines Caribbean and African women’s contributions to twentieth-century anticolonial movements at the intersection of their political participation and literary production.
