I am a writer and scholar from Johannesburg, South Africa. My (many) interests include contemporary art and literature; climate change; youth and work in Africa.
I have a PhD in African Studies (University of Basel) and MA degrees in Political Communication (University of Cape Town) and International Relations (University of the Witwatersrand). I have held fellowships at the University of Edinburgh, University of Cape Town and Zurich University of the Arts.
Currently, I work as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for African Studies at the University of Basel. I also consult at the Human Sciences Research Council in Cape Town, working on The African Youth Livelihoods Virtual Museum; and as the Climate Change Thematic Lead on the u’GOOD research programme on young people and relational wellbeing.
My arts criticism and short stories have appeared in numerous outlets, and I am a co-editor of Lost Libraries, Burnt Archives (2023).
