I engage German intellectual traditions, including Nietzsche, Marx, and East German political culture, alongside critical frameworks from Black political thought to reimagine continental philosophy. In parallel, I explore how race, disability, and neurodivergence shape embodiment, history, and faith, drawing on critical disability studies and theology. My work emphasizes transnational approaches to race, power, faith, and resistance.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>Research and Teaching<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Transnational Black Literatures and Visual Culture<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">African American and Afro-European Literature<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Political Theology and Continental Thought<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Critical Disability Literature and Theory<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>Selected Publications<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Book Chapters<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cNietzsche\u2019s Use of Nightmares in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thus Spoke Zarathustra<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u201d In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nightmares in the Long Nineteenth Century<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, edited by Greta Colombani and Fanny Clemente.
