I am a 5th year Ph.D candidate at Wayne State University in the English Department. I specialize in Film & Media Studies, and am particularly interested in black speculative art, Afrofuturism, utopian/dystopian studies, human-animal studies, and ecocriticism. I am the president of Wayne State's film & media studies student organization, Kino Club 313. We host monthly film screenings, a yearly academic conference, and a blogging platform for student writers and independent scholars.
