Current work
I am interested in postcolonial literatures and cinemas, particularly Southern African. Areas of specialism include Zimbabwean literature, women's writing and African-European writing. Current projects include a co-edited book on the Zimbabwean writer Yvonne Vera. I review for the journal African Literature Today.
