I am a historian and socio-politician, as well as a Black feminist activist with Cameroonian background.
I'm currently an assistant professor in the History Department at Glendon, where I am developing a program in African Studies and Black Feminisms.
My research contributes to Black Feminist Studies in a multidisciplinary and transnational perspective. My research focuses on gender and politics in Africa and in the Black diasporas, in colonial and postcolonial contexts. I pay a particular attention to African and Afro-descendant women's mobilizations in Cameroonian and European contexts.
I also assume various feminist commitments within several associations based in Cameroon, France and Canada.
