"I am an interdisciplinary social scientist and my scholarship and teaching explores the relation between state violence, racial capitalism, politics of (un-) breathing, black transnational resistances and abolitionist feminist worldmaking. Grounded in traditions of activist scholarship, anti-colonial theories and black feminist methodologies, my work engages with black social movements in and beyond Europe, transnational connections and relations as well as the many forms of alternatives developed and rehearsed by activist collectives and movements. I collaborate with black and anti-racist movements in Europe as well as globally, that are engaged in abolitionist struggles and transformations.
Based on activist ethnographic research with black social movements in Paris, my first monograph 'Black Socialities. Urban resistance and the struggle beyond recognition in Paris' (forthcoming with Manchester University Press) explores how black urban activist movements challenge French Republican state racism, build local as well as transnational solidarities and abolitionist infrastructures. My second major research project is entitled Abolition Worlds and focuses on transnational and transatlantic abolitionist practices and imaginaries in the black diaspora."
