Broadly, my research interests revolve around all things related to the Black diaspora of the world. More specifically, my current research is looking at the role of music during decolonization efforts in Eritrea. I am interested in exploring what the music and arts can teach us about overlapping colonial projects and decolonial possibilities in 20th century Eritrea, and the ways in which have music, gender, education, and diaspora shaped the Eritrean struggle for liberation and nation building.
