At Jackson State University I teach undergraduate courses in Global 
History (earliest time to current times), and at upper undergraduate and 
graduate levels I teach Latin America history and African History. At the 
University of Zimbabwe I taught undergraduate courses in the economic 
history of Africa to 1900, economic history of colonial and post-colonial 
eastern Africa and graduate courses in Comparative Slave Economies in the 
World and African Environmental History. 

My research interests focus on agrarian change, ethnicity and land 
conflicts in Zimbabwe in particular and southern Africa in general.
