BIO

I am a researcher interested in cultural studies, black feminism, and black cultural production. My research centres questions of identity, inequality, and everyday life.

I am currently undertaking doctoral research at the London School of Economics and Political Science. In this work, I draw on approaches in audience research and production studies to examine the meaning-making processes that underlie black women's production and consumption of self-help books in Britain. This research is funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council.

Previously, I studied at King's College London (BA Politics) and St Antony's College, Oxford (MSc African Studies).
