Academic and Research Interests
British Empire, Africa and the Caribbean, imperialism and decolonization, resistance movements, history of medicine and global health.
My research focuses on the ways in which people across the African diaspora challenged the late British Empire, and how colonial medicine was used as a “tool of empire” to pacify resistance to imperialism.
