Her research spans issues related to human rights, international courts and tribunals, the export, spread, rejection and re-contextualization of international norms, secularism and religious transnationalism, United Nations and African Union treaty negotiations, and Africa’s insertion into international law circuits. By exploring the increasing judicialization of politics in international criminal law circuits, her work explores the implications for rethinking culture, power, and justice in the contemporary period. She works on theories of legal pluralism, law, aesthetics and politics, and social and political theory.
