Current Project

My ongoing research operates within the field of transnational decolonial queerness. Extending the analyses of postcolonial cultural praxes to diasporic, postcolonial and queer literatures, I aim to develop the emerging critiques of eurocentric queer articulations through the lens of decolonial studies. My monograph is currently under preparation.
