I am Associate Editor of the international Journal of Postcolonial Writing (formerly World Literature Written in English), published by Taylor & Francis.(http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal.asp?issn=1744-9855&linktype=5). I am also Caribbean editor for the Literary Encyclopaedia.

I've just finished working on issues surrounding the teaching of gender theory in a postcolonial context. A chapter will be published in Fiona Tolan & Alice Ferreby's Teaching Gender by Palgrave Macmillan in 2011.
My next project will be centred on food in the Caribbean.
