About us

I've been a professor of English for five years. My research interests are Nigerian civil war fiction; the city-space and affective attachment to place; war and conflict writing; African literature; and representations of food in fiction. I supervise five PhD students and teach Shakespeare and John Milton to undergraduate students.
