RESEARCH
MY RESEARCH
My research sits at the intersection of Black Feminist Thought and Food Studies. I work on Black women within the African diaspora and consider their cooking practices and culinary knowledge. I conduct qualitative research using in-depth interviews and visual ethnography
Before my PhD I worked on mixed-race people in France and the idea of métissage. My early work is very focused on France, thus my Black feminist perspective is heavily influenced by European Afro-feminism and African feminism
ART & RESEARCH
As a scholar artist, I weave in qualitative research methods and my creative practice at all stages of my research from data collection to dissemination. When I have the opportunity, I like to share my research with broader audiences using my visual and culinary skills to express sociological ideas and support collective reflections
