Biography

I have a PhD in 19th-century Canadian literature from Simon Fraser University and have been teaching at the University of British Columbia since 2007. My teaching and research interests encompass a range of topics, including contemporary Canadian African fiction, the dynamics of literary prize culture, and children's literature. Through my work, I engage with migration studies and explore the nuances of representation in literary narratives.
