His monograph Thinking Nietzsche with Africana Thought: Towards an Alluvial Poetic of Worlding establishes connections between European intellectual history and Black diasporic thought. Current projects include The Singing Socrates examining Socratic legacies in 19th Century subjectivity debates, and Alluvia Poetics expanding his conceptual framework through Ngugi Wa Thiong'o, Wole Soyinka, and Édouard Glissant.
