Department of English

I’m a second year English Ph.D. student at the University of Florida. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Letters and a master’s degree in American Studies from the University of Turin, Italy. My interests include the Black Atlantic, post-colonialism, critical theory, diaspora studies, and historiography of capitalism. I am also a father of a black fluffy cat and if you come to Gainesville, you’ll probably catch me running in one of the trails in town… I also have a degree in Mechanical Engineering, the diploma of which was last seen about nine years ago in my parents’ basement!

Fields of Study:

• Black Atlantic
• Postcolonialism
• Critical Theory
• Gender Studies
