Short presentation
I graduated in 2016 with my doctoral thesis Our Side of the Water: Political Culture in the Swedish colony of St Barthélemy 1800-1825, where I explored notions of citizenship and political participation within the naturalized population of St Barthélemy. I have subsequently worked to make the St Barthélemy archives publically available. Other interests include postcolonial theory, Caribbean and global history, intersectionality and the political and social history of the 19th century.
