ABOUT ME
I am a researcher working in postcolonial literary studies, ecocriticism, and the environmental humanities, with a focus on African and Global South literatures. My research engages questions of land, memory, and representation in contexts shaped by colonialism and its afterlives, with particular attention to ecological change, cultural identity, and forms of resistance.
I hold a Master of Arts degree in Literature from the University of Lagos and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Language from Ahmadu Bello University. My academic training is grounded in close textual analysis, postcolonial theory, and African literary studies. My MA research examined questions of agency and subjectivity in the dramatic works of Wole Soyinka and Femi Osofisan, while my undergraduate research explored language, meaning, and cultural context in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. These projects established a sustained engagement with Nigerian literature and its political, cultural, and ethical concerns.
My current research extends this foundation by foregrounding ecological questions in postcolonial contexts. I examine the relationship between land, memory, and narrative form, with particular attention to the ways literary texts articulate ecological disruption, belonging, and resistance. Drawing on postcolonial ecocriticism and the environmental humanities, my work approaches literature as a critical site for rethinking human and nonhuman relations.
Alongside academic research, I engage writing as a critical and epistemological practice, treating narrative and form as modes of inquiry. This informs my interest in storytelling, aesthetics, and ethical representation, and continues through independent writing, literary workshops, and research-led creative projects.
