Ph.D. Student

As a historian and Black Studies scholar, I have various intellectual interests. But my biggest interests are the intellectual history of the Black Radical Tradition and black struggle, black internationalism, social theory, philosophy, and the production of history. 

In the big picture, all of my work seeks to interrogate and critique the epistemological foundations of the modern world and help highlight and conceptualize alternative ways of thinking, knowing, and being. Much of this work is done through an engagement with the history of black radicalism and black thought.
