Her research examines African diasporic literatures through lenses of race, gender, and cultural memory, particularly focusing on transatlantic slavery. She holds a B.A. from the University of Houston and an M.A./Ph.D. from Rice University.
Her monograph-in-progress, Sonorous Passages, investigates sound in liberation ideologies.
