My doctoral dissertation, "Policing Sexual Boundaries: The Politics of 
Race in Colonial Ghana," examines a series of interventions made by 
British colonial and metropolitan authorities during the first half of the 
twentieth-century that sought to impose sexual boundaries between Africans 
and Europeans.  


Research interests:

Colonial/Post-Colonial African History
The racial and sexual politics of colonial rule
Comparative histories of race mixture in Africa and the Diaspora
The relationship between race and political power in post-colonial Ghana
The African Diaspora and reverse migration
