Personal profile
Personal information
I am a transdisciplinary researcher and educator at the intersection of archaeology, history, and ecology embedded within decolonial and Black Radical traditions. Having begun my (post-secondary) education in the natural sciences I came to the realisation that contemporary challenges, including the climatic and ecological crises, are the products of carceral, colonial, and racial capitalist systems, which need to be confronted with radical political imaginaries. It is the realisation of these imaginaries, informed and fuelled by Global South critiques, which underpin my ethical, epistemological, and pedagogical approaches.
Research
I am currently a PhD candidate within the NWO funded project 'What went into the melting pot? Land-use, agriculture, and craft production as indicators for the contributions of Greek migrants and local inhabitants to the so-called Greek colonization in Italy (ca. 800-550 BC). The working title of my project is 'A political ecology of Greek colonisation in Southern Italy and Sicily.'
My other research delves deeper into the imbrication of institutions of knowledge production within racial capitalist and colonial systems. I embrace Black Radical and decolonial and explore the ways in which affirmative refusal and an imagination towards the end of these institutions open pathways towards liberation.
