Research topic
My research focuses on the concept of "belonging" in diaspora and neo-diaspora communities in contemporary postcolonial society, studying multicultural contemporary literature, with a particular emphasis on British literature, especially Black British literature. In recent years, I have also been researching the importance of food in diaspora communities.
