**Dissertation Topic:**  
My dissertation addresses imaginations of the night in colonial and postcolonial Lagos. Retracing the legacies of colonialism on urban (night)life and their reinforcement by contemporary neoliberal logics, I draw the contours of a political economy of nightlife in contexts of depletion, unemployment, surplus-time and boredom, through the exploration of the complicated relation between forms of play, forms of rest and disposable bodies.

**Research Methods:**   
My research incorporates ethnographic and archival research methods with critical media practice using GIS mapping, sound recordings, and video.

**Languages:**  
French, Spanish, Yoruba, Zulu

**Areas of Interest:**  
Nightlife; political economy; masculinity; policing; Black geographies; blackness; colonial period
