Literary Scholar in Postcolonial Ecocriticism and Environmental Humanities
research summary
I am a literary scholar working in postcolonial literary studies, ecocriticism, and the environmental humanities, with a research focus on African and Global South literatures. My research examines how literary texts register environmental conflict, colonial and postcolonial dispossession, extractive economies, and ecological resistance, with particular attention to narrative form, environmental justice, and the politics of representation.

EARTH LITERACY
An Environmental Humanities Project
Earth Literacy explores the role of stories, literature, and cultural narratives in shaping understanding of environmental crisis, justice, and ecological futures across the world.
Through essays, reflections, and critical narratives, the project examines the representation of environmental issues in literature and culture, and the ways storytelling influences public understanding, responsibility, and action in a time of planetary change.
As the project engages with environmental stories, it invites conversations of critique, possibility, and responsibility, with a focus on:
• Environmental challenges shaping contemporary life
• Possibilities for justice, repair, and transformation
• The role of literature, education, and critical thought in imagining more just and livable futures
Earth Literacy bridges academic research and public conversation, creating a space for scholars, students, educators, and readers to think critically about the relationship between humans, culture, and the planet.
