Agostinho M. N. Pinnock, PhD
Agostinho is an interdisciplinary GeoHumanities scholar working at the intersections of geography, art history, visual theory, and Caribbean Studies. He is a GeoHumanities lecturer at Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL), and a member of the editorial board Communications in Humanities Research. His doctoral research investigated the performance of national identity in postcolonial Jamaica. Building on his undergraduate and master’s degrees in media and communications, gender studies and literatures in English, it examined a series of creative practices and performances involved in recovering the lost, suppressed and otherwise erased Black presences in modern Jamaica through the project of ‘multi-cultural nationhood’. Agostinho’s publications include critical discussions about the development and advancement of Global Black Geographies in geography, dancehall culture and grassroots feminist practices in popular culture in Jamaica. He also co-curated the creative film project, Creating Joy.
