His research focuses on colonial/post-colonial memory, media law, and the intersections of legal/linguistic difference with media structures. He explores these themes through psychoanalysis, political philosophy, and cultural studies. Recent work examines legal cases involving post-colonial identity, such as Frédéric Mitterrand’s 'La Mauvaise Vie' and French memorial laws addressing colonial history.

He has presented at major conferences including Harvard’s ACLA, NYU-AUP Symposia on Media and Belief, and the Association for the Study of Law, Culture & Humanities (ASLCH). His lectures often address transnational legal narratives in postcolonial fiction and the role of media in sustaining cultural memory.
