Recherche Interests lie in the areas of sociolinguistics, language and identity, language and culture, language and religion, and language variation and change in French, English and Portuguese speaking countries of West Africa. The work focuses on several West African languages (especially Senegambian Wolof, Mandinka, Pulaar and Portuguese Creole known as Crioulo) and their interactions with French, English and Arabic. More recently, working on issues at the crossroads of scholarship in African Linguistics, African Studies, History and Islamic Studies, and Ajami linguistics. I am currently studying various (socio)linguistic, cultural and religious aspects of various Wolof, Pulaar, and Mandinka Ajami manuscripts from Senegambia. I intend to continue to study (and teach about) the writing systems of Ajami manuscripts in the region, the religious and secular messages contained in them, the speech communities where they serve as primary means of written communication, and the historical, cultural and religious heritage that has found expression in this manner.
