Research Interests
I am a product of postcolonial Africa and I believe it is important for me to understand recent issues in the context of postcolonial debate, especially about Africa but extending to other parts of the world. My research focuses on the role of literature and language in our society, especially how they both serve as instruments of subjugation and liberation. My recent conference papers discussed new literary efforts to end linguistic hegemony through the inventions of hybrid languages. My research interests include Postcolonial literature and theory, literary criticism, Writing Across Curriculum, Assessment Design, African American literature, World literatures, and Contemporary African politics.
