Trosolwyg
I am a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow (2016-19) based at Cardiff School of Modern Languages. My current research project examines the resistance of women garment and textile workers in the Francophone and Creolophone Caribbean.
More broadly, my research interests centre on Francophone colonial and postcolonial studies. I am particularly interested in the history and legacies of French colonialism and slavery in the Caribbean and how the ongoing effects of these processes are explored and reimagined through the aesthetics of a wide range of contemporary visual and material media, including film, art, performance and dress. I have publications in the Journal of Haitian Studies and Women and Performance and am working on a book entitled Imaging the Invisibles: the Fabrication of Gender in the Francophone Caribbean to be published with Liverpool University Press in 2018.
I currently co-lead (with Dr Rhian Atkin) the Bodies and Borders research theme within the School of Modern Languages.

Ymchwil
My current research project, entitled 'Caribbean Threads: Creole Networks of Cloth and Consumption', funded by the Leverhulme Trust, examines the design, trade and consumption of textiles and cloth in contemporary Francophone Creole cultures. It is a study of how women textile traders and artisans resist and reconfigure global markets through their local economic and design practices. The project explores how women entrepreneurs mediate political and cultural identity in relation to their Caribbean neighbours and the enduring economic and cultural dominance of France and the U.S. in the region. For updates on this project please visit the accompanying blog.
My interdisciplinary doctoral research, fully funded by the AHRC, examined expressions of cross-dressing and gender performativity in contemporary Francophone Caribbean visual and performative cultures, focusing on the islands of Martinique, Guadeloupe and Haiti and their diasporic communities in metropolitan France. My blog has more information on this research project.
My monograph based on this doctoral research, entitled Imaging the Invisibles: the Fabrication of Gender in the Francophone Caribbean, will be published with Liverpool University Press in 2018.
