Kwame Edwin Otu is an Associate Professor in the African Studies Program at the Edmund Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Otu is a cultural anthropologist with interests ranging from the politics of sexual, environmental, and technological citizenships, public health, to their intersections with shifting racial formations in neocolonial and neoliberal Africa and the African Diaspora. Otu’s first book monograph, Amphibious Subjects: Sasso and the Contested Politics of Queer Self-Making in Neoliberal Ghana (UC Press), is an ethnography on queer self-fashioning among a community of self-identified effeminate men, known in local parlance as sasso. Otu’s current/ongoing project investigates the global politics of e-waste in particular, and the undulations of global environmental transitions, in general, and their impacts on African and African-descended bodies. The Salvage Slot: Technology and the Ecologies of the After-Afterlife is an ethnography on waste workers on an e-waste dump in Agbogbloshie, Ghana, that investigates Africa’s paradoxical location as a site of extraction and deposition
