Research

My research lies at the intersection of African history, Islamic Studies, and Digital Humanities. I explore the contemporary history of Islam and Muslim societies in francophone West Africa. I focus on how youth, women, and religious minorities have engaged with religious activism, the media and political life from the 1960s to the present day. By combining extensive fieldwork and archival research in Benin, Togo, Côte d'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso with computational methodologies, I examine the evolving landscape of Islamic discourse and Muslim politics.
