Dr Carli Coetzee
My research focuses on African popular cultural studies and literature, and on the ethics of knowledge production about and from Africa. I have previously held positions at the University of the Western Cape, University of Cape Town, SOAS University of London and Queen Mary University and have held fellowships at Harvard University and Wits University. I am the editor of the Journal of African Cultural Studies (https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/cjac20/current), a journal with a special commitment to publishing cutting edge scholarship produced by Africa-based scholars. My latest monograph Written Under the Skin: Blood and Intergenerational Memory in South Africa was awarded the African Literature Association's Prize for the Best Scholarly Monograph.
