Currently, I am a doctoral student in African languages at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. My PhD project Anticausativization in F20 Bantu Languages focuses on verbal valency decreasing morphology in three Bantu languages spoken in western Tanzania (Sukuma, Nyamwezi and Kimbu). The project is funded by the University of Gothenburg. My supervisors for this project are: Malin Petzell (University of Gothenburg) and Hannah Gibson (University of Essex). I expect to finish this project in the Spring term 2027.
