My research broadly focuses on the comparative study of Latin American slave systems and pathways to abolition. I am interested in identity formation in the African Diaspora and interconnectivity and exchange between Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. My research has led me to examine the British anti-slavery campaign in its international context, principally in Brazil and Cuba in the nineteenth century.
