Current research
My current book project, provisionally titled Life Expectancy, poses a general critique of creativity via analyses of the antiblack gestational violence of poiesis. I am also working on several shorter pieces that read reparative investments in belonging, home, and natality through the grammatical aporias presented by the black slave. My research traverses discourses such as Afropessimism, Anticolonial Theory and Literature, Political Philosophy, Philosophy of Birth, Science and Technology Studies, Poststructuralism, Critical Theory, and Psychoanalysis.
