Writing
Published work spanning historical method, colonial institutions, postcolonial Africa, and public-facing scholarship.
My writing moves between academic venues and public formats. Peer-reviewed work tends toward close argumentation and archival grounding. Public writing — including the Historical Method Man channel — aims to make historical thinking legible to an audience that did not choose to study it.
