He has a PhD from Royal College of Art in Reportage Drawing and is exploring further practice based research in documentary comics and animation and is developing ‘comic as research’ projects following the publication of Steal This History in the journal Re Thinking History, published by Taylor and Francis.
Other practice based research is exploring medical narratives in the comic, community outreach and lived experience through art making in Nairobi slums, and exploring the factors that impact violence against women in southeast Asia.

Refuge explores the lesser known history of displaced African Americans in the post slavery period seeking the establishment of their own communities.
