She teaches in the Department of History at the University of the Witwatersrand. She has taught modules such as The History of Sex, Gender and History, Empires of the Modern World and Themes in Twentieth-Century History, among others. On top of reading some of Annie’s work, I also managed to have an interesting conversation with her about her teaching and broader intellectual project.en© 2021 Authors.
