Biography

British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow researching "West African mariners and the expansion of Atlantic empires (ca.1700-1900)". I am a historian of the eighteenth and nineteenth-century Atlantic world with a focus on slavery, abolitionism and empire. My current research project investigates the pivotal role played by West African mariners in abolitionism, the slave trade, piracy as well as the expansion of European and American empires in the Caribbean and the West African litoral.
