Biography
My research interests lie at the intersection of Black feminist theory, natural sciences, and apocalyptic narratives. I am interested in 20th and 21st-century dystopian fiction, Afrofuturism, Africanjujuism, science-inspired poetry and poetics, and film and media that incorporate these themes.
