He has a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley, based on eighteen months of fieldwork on the Sudan-South Sudan border.

In 2014 he was a UNESCO artist-laureate in creative writing, and has published essays and fiction in a number of venues, including Creative Time Reports, Chimurenga, and Hotel Amerika, amongst others. In 2014, he also exhibited a grammar of redacted documents from America's war on terror at the New Museum, New York. He is currently working on a book about war in South Sudan. Last updated July 2017
