I am a historian of the Sahel and West Africa in the 19th and 20th centuries.
My work explores the circulations of West African people and ideas; social histories of Islam in Mali and the Sahel; Malian women’s histories; and pan-Africanism.
I received my PhD in African History from the University of California, Los Angeles. I’m currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at New York University, where I’m also Affiliate Faculty at the Institute of French Studies.
