I am pleased to share that I have joined the Santa Catarina State University (UDESC) as a visiting lecturer. I will be teaching Contemporary Fashion History and African Art. I am happy to continue developing my work at the intersection of history, image, and Africa, now in dialogue with fashion.

I am so happy to share that yesterday, I defended my dissertation. Ambivalent Spaces: Photography and Work in German Colonial Africa (1884-1918) African Studies/ @humboldtuni.bsky.social

Dissertation submitted. I can't believe this has finally happened! (and yes, I will share this news on all my social media profiles)

How was labour in Africa under colonialism framed and archived? How did photographs from the colonial past cross borders? In this short text, I address these two questions by examining my findings during research at @camhistory.bsky.social. ghil.hypotheses.org/2332
