Research, Conferences and Publication


My research is rooted in indigenous knowledge systems, cultural expression, and human–environment relations, with a particular focus on how traditional wisdom and narratives influence contemporary understanding and practice. I am especially interested in the Igbo language and proverbs, exploring how proverbs and folktales serve as localized forms of knowledge and how they continue to circulate and evolve in modern social settings. Additionally, my work investigates the role of indigenous knowledge and folk narratives in environmental and wildlife management, paying close attention to how culturally grounded practices help address human–wildlife conflicts and broader ecological issues. Through this interdisciplinary approach, I connect folklore, linguistic traditions, and socio-ecological studies, highlighting the significance of cultural heritage as both a scholarly resource and a living framework for sustainable practices.
