What I'm looking for
I am a Doctor in English Literature, Civilizations Anglophones and the Commonwealth (UCAD, 2018) with extensive experience teaching English, translation, and related subjects across Senegalese higher education institutions. I have served as a chargede de cours, tutor and techno-pedagogue at multiple universities and institutes, delivered training for programs such as SupDeco, MCAMillenium Challenge and DakarNave, and worked as a translator for academic and development organizations.
My research centers on Caribbean and anglophone literature with a sustained focus on gender studies; I produced a doctoral thesis, DEA and master’s dissertations, plus multiple publications and manuals, and held a research fellowship at the West African Research Center (WARC). I combine classroom teaching, curriculum development and research publication to support student success and advance scholarship in literature, translation and gender.
