Research
My primary area of study is museology, with a focus on Black museology, the development and operation of Black and African American museums, and Black cultural spaces such as bookshops, galleries, community and performance spaces. Additionally, I explore the associated cultural, social, and political movements, including the Black Arts Movement, Black Power Movement, Caribbean Artists Movement, and the UK Civil Rights Movement.
I am increasingly interested in post-independence museums and national identity in Africa and the Caribbean, particularly Ghana and Guyana. I'm also examining the impact of indigenous and community knowledge on collection development and curatorial practices. Currently, I am researching the exchange of regional cultural knowledge, particularly in the Liverpool City region, and how regional museums contribute to and connect with broader, often city-centric, narratives on topics such as transatlantic slavery, imperialism and colonialism.
