Countries of Specialization South Africa ; Swaziland.

Education Ph.D. Dissertation, Yale University, 1998: "Swaziland's Colonial Politics: The Decline of Progressivist South African Nationalism and the Emergence of Swazi Political Traditionalism, 1910-1939."

Research Interests My intellectual interests include the social, cultural and political history of southern Africa, particularly South Africa and Swaziland; the comparative history of slavery; modes of knowledge about the past; African labor studies; the ethics of scholarship in African studies; and the problem of anti-intellectualism in debates over historical method and cultural and social theory. I am also trying to work when possible on approaches to broadening the circulation of better knowledge about Africa in the U.S. beyond the academy, including improved communication with non-specialist educators and journalists, and improved teaching materials and support for their use in non-specialized secondary and tertiary settings.
