She has published widely on South African literature and culture and currently serves on the editorial boards of ARIEL, English in Africa, and Acta Academica. She was the local director of the 2015 Association for Cultural Studies Institute. Sarah Olutola is a PhD graduate and sessional instructor in the Department of English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University, Canada.
