Fellow, Black Diasporic Art, Princeton University

I am an immigrant art historian, writer and curator. At Princeton University I hold the position of Assistant Professor of Black Diasporic Art with a joint appointment in the Departments of African American Studies and Art and Archaeology. I was born in Sri Lanka but later moved to Australia and New Zealand where I trained and worked as a Registered Nurse, a career that also took me to the United Kingdom and Ghana. After studying for a BA at the University of Western Australia I transitioned to a career in the humanities, completing my PhD in African American Studies and Art History at Yale University.
