M. Neelika Jayawardane is a writer and scholar. She is Professor of English Literature at a university in the US, and a Senior Research Associate at The Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study (JIAS). Her research and writing—both creative and scholarly—are informed by Southern Africa’s history, and by the work of contemporary artists and visual worlds.
