I am an interdisciplinary researcher and composer interested in the confluence between culture, neoliberalism, communities and social inequalities.

I am a Visiting Research Fellow and the academic joint-lead for MMU's Critical Race and Ethnicity Research Cluster. I am also the Special Adviser on Research for Black British Academics with national advisory responsibilities for over 20 PhD candidates. I have also been appointed Visiting Professor at the Federal University of the Amazonas (UFAM).
