My initial research examined the distinction between literary representation and cinematic adaptation, with particular attention to how music shapes the emotional and interpretive shift from text to film. The study analyzed how directors use musical elements to translate the sentiments of a literary work into visual form and how producers convey their creative vision to audiences.

Subsequently, I explored Canadian Indigenous cinema, focusing on the works of Indigenous directors through the lens of resistance and identity. This research addressed the Mohawk Oka Crisis and its intergenerational effects on the communities of Kanesatake and Kahnawake, highlighting how Indigenous narrative forms diverge from Western cinematic conventions.

Another study centered on the folk culture of Chittagonian Mezban, examining its culinary traditions, historical evolution, and socio-cultural significance as a site of community and communication.

Current Research
My current work engages with Wole Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman, investigating his claim that the “colonial factor is … a catalytic incident merely.” This study approaches colonial experience through the framework of trauma, drawing parallels with Canadian Indigenous literature, where colonial trauma is a central theme in the reconstruction of cultural memory.
