About me

Calista Nkechi Agoha

A literary scholar and creative writer. My academic work explores postcolonial ecocriticism, environmental humanities, and literature of resistance, with a particular interest in how literature engages with questions of identity, culture, and ecological justice.

Beyond scholarship, my creative work often draws from the same cultural and social landscapes that shape my academic research, blending storytelling with social and cultural themes.

I see scholarship and storytelling as two complementary ways of engaging with the world. One is through critical inquiry, and the other is through imaginative expression. Both pathways guide my commitment to literary studies.
