I am a PhD Candidate in Literary and Culture Studies at Carnegie Mellon University. 

I work in Global Anglophone literature with a focus on southern African literature and eco-criticism. I am especially interested in literary form, African intellection and environmentalism, and the complications of multi-species entanglements for the Humanities. 

My dissertation project, Safari Form: Contesting the Cultural Imagination of Wildlife Conservation in Southern African Literature, examines how southern African writers renegotiate the aesthetic boundaries of the "safari". I argue that this challenges the exclusionary practice of conservation by presenting alternate representations of human/non-human relations and the conservation estate.
