About
My research examines socialist/post-socialist Ethiopia as part of the African “socialist experiment.” Specifically, I apply my background in the performing arts to generate an enhanced cultural understanding of political history within regional and global contexts, as well as to establish a viable alternative to the master narratives on these societies.
