I am a Professor of African Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research focuses on contemporary African history, African media studies, Angolan studies, and Southern African studies.

I write on history, politics, and popular culture. My works have been published in academic journals and online platforms such as Africa is a Country, The Conversation, The Guardian, and Zocalo.

I have authored two books and am currently working on a book project that focuses on the Luanda Trial of Mercenaries in 1976.
