Biography
After finishing my BA in Cell Biology with a semester abroad in Cape Town, South Africa I decided I would not spend my life in laboratories. I studied English-Speaking Cultures and Cultural Studies (BA) and transnational literary studies (MA) at the University of Bremen, Germany with repeated stays in Ghana and Nigeria. While these courses covered a wide field of the production and reception of literature, film and drama around the world, I developed my expertise in West African literature. More broadly, my main disciplinary interests are postcolonial theory, political thought, ethics and cultural production.
