My work integrates the transdisciplinary field of Gender Studies into African politics, philosophy, and media. My research have contributed conceptual and theoretical frameworks including ‘symbiotic interactionism‘, ‘intra-feminist crisis’, ‘idealistic-pragmatism’, ‘detrimental agency’ , ‘Intersectional Wand’ and ‘feminized corruption’ with practical applications.
