Academic Employment 

I have been a faculty member at the State University of New York (SUNY) in Geneseo since 2010. My primary research deals with sub-Saharan Francophone African literatures from Post-colonial Africa, with a focus on diasporic literature, literary transnationalism, migration, identity and exile. I extensively worked on the journalistic work in PNPA (Peuples Noirs Peuples Africains) by Franco-Cameroonian author Alexandre Biyidi-Awala, alias Mongo Beti. I also developed secondary research interests in African cinema, nego-feminism and sociolinguistics.
