"Thrust Reversal: Artistic Intervention and Spiritual Repair in a Nigerian Energy Landscape"

His areas of specialty include the visual cultures of modern Africa and its diasporas, critical museum and heritage studies in a global frame, and modern and contemporary African art. His most recent monograph, What is African Art? A Short History, examines the invention and development of African art as an art historical category.
