Dorothée Boulanger

Dorothée Boulanger is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow (2020-2023) at the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, University of Oxford, working on a project entitled: “Contemporary Griots: Writing the Revolution in Africa”, comparing four writers from Algeria, Angola, Congo and Zimbabwe. After training in International Relations and Gender Studies, she completed a PhD in History at King’s College London, analysing Angolan post-independence novels as historical sources. Dorothée’s research lies at the crossroads between African literature and history, with a specific interest in Lusophone Africa, gender and masculinity and the coloniality of knowledge.
