Sarah Jilani’s PhD at King’s, in how early postcolonial African and South Asian novels and films treated decolonisation, led to her being named as a BBC New Generation Thinker in 2021. Now a Lecturer at City, University of London, she teaches on Anglophone postcolonial literatures and world cinema, focusing on issues of global inequalities and the living legacies of colonialism. As a writer her work has featured in Art Review, The Economist, and the TLS.
