I am a doctoral student, and my dissertation research will focus on
indigenous interpreters and other interlocutors (marabouts, chiefs,
traitants, intellectuals, etc.) in colonial Senegal from about 1850
to 1939. Other areas of interest include West Africa during the colonial
era, slavery, Islam, Pan-Africanism, and the African diaspora.
