RESEARCH & TEACHING___________________________________________________________

My principal research lies in the field of Postcolonial English literatures in general and Nigerian theatre and drama in particular. However, I am also a strong supporter of interdisciplinarity in research which is reflected in the theses I have supervised until now. During my professional career, I have lectured on English, American, continental literatures and areas such as Critical Discourse Analysis, Pragmatics, and Adaptation Studies. As an active academic and administrative faculty member, I have remained engaged with many curricular and extracurricular activities from undergraduate to PhD levels. I am proud to have been the recipient of many awards during my academic and professional career. I also keep offering my acquired research skills and teaching experience to quality academic institutes in the fields of English Literature and Linguistics. 

As a teacher, I strongly believe in ‘Learning-by-Doing’.
