Biography

Broadly, I am interested in the intersections of space & place, race, gender, sexuality and nationality as they relate to coloniality. Specifically, I focus on the experiences of queer Black women and Women of Colour (WOC); how we experience intersecting forms of oppression and negotiate our identities in different spaces. I utilise a decolonial Black feminist approach within my research that acknowledges and centers the role of colonialism in contemporary understandings of identity. I have previously worked extensively on the national Why Is My Curriculum White campaign and decolonising higher education movement in the UK. I am committed to collective knowledge production and a holistic approach to education that nurtures and prioritises the self, the mind and wellbeing. I believe in education as a space for liberation where the most traditionally and historically marginalised are at the centre of my educational and daily pedagogy.
