I am an Assistant Professor in International Relations Theory at the LSE. My research focuses on anti-colonial theory and history, and the politics of empire, race and knowledge production. Prior to joining LSE in September 2024, I was a Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the University of St Andrews.
The purpose of this blog is to make knowledge accessible, especially to those who find themselves shut out from scholarship by extortionate pay walls, conference registration fees, and expensive book prices. I post transcripts or summaries of my talks and op-eds on the homepage; and pre-print versions of all my journal articles and book chapters in the publications section. This is also a space to reflect/write outside the limits of instrumentalised knowledge production, for myself and others.
