Research Focus: Professor Mvuezolo's interdisciplinary approach connects environmental humanities with postcolonial critique, ecofeminism, and diaspora studies. His current book project, Extractivist Narratives, investigates resource predation in Sub-Saharan and Caribbean cultural works, exploring intersections of ecological awareness, migration, and social justice.
Scholarly Output: His publications demonstrate consistent focus on migration law in literature, gendered representations in Francophone fiction, and environmental critiques of extractivism. Analysis reveals predominant themes of displacement, identity negotiation, and systemic inequality across African and Caribbean contexts.
