Biography

My objective as a humanities educator is to provide students with the tools to broaden their horizons. I expose my students to a variety of ideas, values, practices and perspectives they might not otherwise encounter in order to expand their worldviews and challenge them to think critically about the world around them. My research is interdisciplinary in nature and weaves together several areas of inquiry: Francophone literature and cinema from West Africa and the Caribbean, postcolonial studies and gender studies.
