I am an independent historian specialising in Caribbean and Black British history, with a focus on archives, art, and queer Black British histories; and on African-Caribbean diasporic histories with a focus on Grenada and Jamaica. I have curated and co-curated a number of exhibitions and displays relating to Caribbean and Black British history including the 2014-2015 Tate Britain display ‘Spaces of Black Modernism: London 1919–39’, co-curated with Dr. Caroline Bressey (UCL), Emma Chambers and Inga Fraser (Tate Britain). I am the author of the book Race, Sexuality and Identity in Britain and Jamaica: The Biography of Patrick Nelson, 1916-1963 (Bloomsbury Academic, 2017), which was published in paperback in March 2019. In 2018 I was awarded a Paul Mellon Centre Mid-Career Fellowship for my new project Berto Pasuka and Queer Black British Art.
