Research
My primary area of study is museology, with a focus on Black museology, including the development and operation of Black and African American museums, as well as Black cultural spaces such as bookstores, galleries, and community and performance venues. Additionally, I explore associated cultural, social, and political movements, including the Black Arts Movement, the Black Power Movement, the Caribbean Artists Movement, and the UK Civil Rights Movement.
I have a growing interest in post-independence museums and the concept of national identity in Africa and the Caribbean, particularly in Ghana and Guyana. I am also examining the impact of AI, data and emerging technologies on museology. Currently, my research focuses on the exchange of regional cultural knowledge, particularly in the Liverpool City region, and how regional museums contribute to and connect with broader city-centric narratives on topics such as transatlantic slavery, imperialism and colonialism.
