I am a DPhil in Political Theory at Corpus Christi College and the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford.

My work sits at the crossroads of intellectual history, black critical theory and aesthetics. I am particularly interested in the relationship between artistic expression and political pragmatism. Amongst other things, I am also interested in political theory that deals with questions of time, fate and memory.

Before my DPhil, I completed an MPhil in Political Theory at Somerville College, Oxford and a BA in Politics and International Relations at the University of Exeter and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. I also worked as an editorial project assistant in the archive of Archant, the largest newspaper and magazine publishing company in the East of England.

Besides from my studies, I am a section editor for the Oxford Political Review and convene the Oxford Black Radical Thought Seminar. I am a lover of card games, Iris Murdoch novels and whodunits.

My studies at Oxford have been generously supported by Corpus Christi College, All Souls College and my department.
