Research

My research is mainly concerned with the relationship between coloniality and religious phenomena. I have worked on religious discourse, religious knowledge, religious institutions and religious law. I am also intrigued by migration and the movement of both objects and non-objects  in a world of Modernity/coloniality. Theoretically, I am interested in Post-colonial and De-colonial theories.

My PhD project explores the theorization of coloniality to develop an empirical account of specific processes of erasure through which Modernity's real is established.
