My current work centred on the Afterlives of Colonial Incarceration project focuses on the carceral remnants of colonialism. 

My previous work explored a range of themes mainly focused on West Africa (Nigeria and Ghana). These include: Prisons, Pentecostalism, Hybridity, NGOs, and Corruption. I have also written on Developmental States and Political Economy Analysis used by Development actors.
