As a Research Fellow at King鈥檚, Georgia will explore how performance companies, festivals, and the space of the theatre have operated as transnational sites of internationalist activity across Africa and the Americas between the 1960s and the 1980s, foregrounding the literary and intellectual production of Portuguese-speaking nations within a comparative framework. More broadly, she has research interests in colonial and anticolonial literatures, transnationalism and internationalism, Third Worldism, and Cold War aesthetics.
