women’s rights, global HIV/AIDS, the environment as represented in popular
culture, literature and film.

and refugees, trauma, violence and healing.
- I also specialize in African literature and film, with particular focus on
Nigerian third-generation texts.
- I'm also an expert in literary and film representations of Rwanda
postgenocide.
- Currently, I'm working on a book project on African children's rights in
