Biography
Ngozika Anthonia Obi-Ani is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of History and International Studies at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. She is an interdisciplinary historian who explores the connection between women, memory, and conflict. Her exploration of memory and conflict studies gave her a deeper understanding of the socio-political dynamics that have shaped contemporary Nigeria. Her doctoral research was based on interviews with Igbo survivors of the Nigeria-Biafra War. She collaborates with the Conflict Continuities Collaboration Research Group at the African Studies Center, University of Leiden, the Netherlands, working on „A Question of Memory? The Biafran Struggle in Perspective”. She is currently on a research fellowship at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study, NIAS. My research focuses on how the transmitted memory of the Nigeria-Biafra war is presented on social media by those who didn’t experience the war, aiming to challenge the official control of the past.
