About

I am a PhD Candidate in African Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. My research and teaching engage African literature, popular culture, media, and digital cultures, with particular interests in African cultural production, popular music, film, language, and transnational cultural exchange. My work is interdisciplinary, drawing from literary studies, media studies, cultural history, and African studies to examine the changing forms through which African societies produce, circulate, and interpret culture.

Alongside my research, I have taught across a range of humanities courses in the United States, including Yoruba language at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Wisconsin Intensive Summer Language Institutes (WISLI), African literature and popular culture, and first-year writing at Bowling Green State University. Beyond the classroom, I write for both academic and public audiences. My essays, reviews, and cultural criticism have appeared in publications including The Guardian (Nigeria), OlongoAfrica, and AfricanWriter.com, where I explore African literature, Afrobeats, Nollywood, media, and contemporary cultural debates.
