Other research interests include the post-colonial, visual cultures, assemblages using queer theory, African-Caribbean performance cultures, late Victorian and Edwardian cultures, Pan Africanism and the Harlem Renaissance, heritage studies and oral histories, and social critique in popular culture.
She is currently doing publically engaged research in decolonisation, grief, and reparations in her local community. Specifically, she is working with social and public display, music, and oral histories across three sites that 'Anchor' the African-Caribbean community - church, housing estate, and primary school.
