- About Me
I am a social and environmental historian of colonial and post-colonial Africa and a PhD candidate in the Department of History at Yale University. My research looks at the history of Ghana’s rubber industry from ~1880 to the present. I use rubber forests, farms, and factories as lenses to explore how people in the colonial Gold Coast and Ghana — farmers and workers, politicians and union reps, traders and student activists, etc. — made sense of and responded to the possibilities and perils of producing for the world market. Since 2013, I have conducted extensive archival, oral historical, and participant observation research in Ghana, the United States, and the United Kingdom on this topic.
