I am a Research Assistant on the ERC-selected and UKRI-funded project LITAID: Decolonization, Appropriation and the Materials of Literature in Africa and its Diaspora. I hold a MSt and DPhil in English from the University of Oxford and a BA from Ateneo de Manila University. I've been awarded a Visiting Fellowship by the Centre of Book Cultures and Publishing based at the University of Reading and a 25th Anniversary Fellowship by the Society of History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing.

Research interests and PhD supervision

• Institutions of World Literature
• Postcolonial Book Trade
• Creative Industries

My research investigates how international organisations and book trade associations have shaped production, translation, and circulation of literary books and impacted business practices of literary publishers in the 20th century. Within LITAID, I study literary travellers who visited Ghana in the 1950s and support research on print cultures and education. My own postdoctoral project examines the Traditional Market Agreement, a British publishing monopoly that carved up the world book markets between British and American publishers from the 1940s to 1970s.
