About
I am interested in the history of humanitarian movements and their connections to European and American imperial expansion in Africa in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. My research projects to date have looked at
(1) the development of society in Sierra Leone and Liberia and the colonies' influence on the American and British anti-slavery movements in the antebellum period
(2) the participation of African Americans in the settler migrations of the nineteenth century
(3) the 'Image of Africa' problem with regard to the perception of 'legitimate' agricultural progress in Sierra Leone and Liberia
(4) the role of the Sierra Leone diaspora in promoting British imperial expansion in West Africa
(5) the use and abuse of humanitarian rhetoric by imperial powers, sub-imperial agents, and the colonized in Africa from 1807-1936
(6) Macaulay and Babington, a Sierra Leone trading firm
