| Recherche | Dissertation investigated the "Images of Africa", focusing on the manner in which Africa has been imaged and reproduced by early Western writers and photographers and the impact that their work has had on their contemporaries.

Researching specifically Benin, Lesotho, South Africa and Togo. |
