Excited to share my article just out in @IJCS_journal which explores how streaming reconfigures video consumption culture in Nigeria. It's part of the globally-scoped "Relocating Video Cultures" special issue edited by @DrTVLotz. Open access via journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

Glad 2 have 2 papers in 4 #ICA25: 1) "Pluriform Nollywood: Researching internal fragmentation tru comparative production analysis in global media industries," and 2)"Platformatised representation of the female gender in the Nigerian social media videos" with @obiavincent & Mosun

As I gradually adjust to the @UTSC climate for my postdoctoral fellowship, I am beyond excited to share that I have signed my book contract with @mitpress. The book "Nollywood on Demand" explores the cultural and economic logics of streaming in the Nigerian Film Industry.

It was great presenting our paper with @gamespacenl at @AoIR_org's #AOIR2024. We explored practices of reciprocal labour among Nigerian content creators in the face of opaque platform monetisation norms and the struggle towards visibility.

After holding onto this exciting news for some time, I’m glad to share that I will soon be joining @UofT as a @UTSC Postdoc Fellow working with the admirable @gamespacenl. I am incredibly delighted to continue my line of work there, and to join an already stellar faculty.
