Bio

My research interests lie at the intersection of literary representations of the environment and postcolonial studies. My dissertation explores the role of southern African imaginaries in conservation practices on the continent. The project tries to work towards a more convivial conception of conservation, as opposed to the entrenched imperial land grabbing practices of our contemporary moment.
