About me
I am a researcher and writer from Johannesburg, and a
PhD candidate at the University of Basel. My research and writing focuses on the nexus between international development, mediated communication and culture. Previously, I earned MA degrees in International Relations (University of the Witwatersrand, 2011) and Political Communication (University of Cape Town, 2015). I have worked in the private, nonprofit and public sectors in South Africa, and my writing has appeared in
Africa's a Country, the Johannesburg Review of Books, New Frame and more.
