Research Interests
My research in postcolonial and historical sociology empirically takes me to the United States. On the one hand, I am researching the Du Boisian tradition of sociology, analysing how a loose network of Black U.S sociologists formed their sociological analysis in conjunction with one another (and in conjunction with transnational, anticolonial movements). Secondly, I am researching the 'de-Americanisation of Pan-Africanism', examining the extent to which U.S intellectuals' and organisations' roles waxed and waned in the Pan-African movement. I am active in the American Sociological Association, and have acquired various fellowships in the U.S. through my career.
