Research

My PhD research explores the connections between pan-Africanism and international peace movements in the mid-20th Century by studying anti-war and anti-nuclear campaigns in (post-)colonial West Africa. This research is part of the Peace Movements Project, led by dr. Carolien Stolte (see: https:⁠/⁠/peace.lucdh.eu/).

My research interests lie with global history, particularly the history of internationalism and decolonisation. I work with digital history methods to uncover new insights about the Cold War networks of peace.
