Academic Introduction
PhD (University of Ottawa)
I am currently writing a book about Jacques Rancière, Simone de Beauvoir, and antifascism. My long-term project, called Unsettling Existentialism, involves rethinking the work of Sartre, Beauvoir, and other existentialists through the lens of anticolonial and decolonial—that is, Africana, creole, and Indigenous—frameworks.
