PhD candidate in the department of History and Civilization at the European University Institute, Florence. Her thesis explores the work and intellectual output of a generation of anticolonial activists from Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia, who sought to forge contacts beyond the borders of their respective colonial territories, during the period 1952-64. This fits within a broader project of mapping the history of anticolonial thought and its relationship to narratives of decolonisation.
