Tochi Eze is a PhD candidate in English Literature whose research explores the entanglements of postcolonial aesthetics, urban space, and everyday life. Her dissertation, Aesthetics of Freedom: Art, Politics, and Postcolonial World-Making in the Global Cityscape, considers ordinary life as a critical method of diasporic cultural production and the ways that African-Atlantic literatures map trans-local movements as spaces of creativity, and reimagined community. Alongside her scholarship, Eze is a novelist. Her debut novel, This Kind of Trouble (Penguin Random House, 2025), reimagines colonial and postcolonial histories through the intimate geographies of memory, migration, and everyday life.
