I am a PhD candidate in African history at Yale University, where I work on histories of liberation movements and decolonization in Southern Africa. My dissertation tracks the fraught solidarities forged by South African exiles and anti-apartheid figures in Tanzania from the 1960s to the early 90s. Combining social and political history, I seek to understand the everyday experiences of solidarity-building in exile. To tell this story, I’ve worked across Tanzanian, South African, British, and U.S. archives. I connect my findings from organizational, national, and private archives with oral histories. My research has been generously funded by Fulbright-IIE, the Gilder Lehrman Center, and the American Historical Association.
