Adélékè Adéẹ̀kọ́ studies African and Yorùbá literature, culture, and postcolonial thought, examining topics such as oral and written literary traditions, decolonization, critical theory, and literary institutions across Africa and its diaspora. His work often engages closely with the writings of prominent African literary critics and explores how literature, language, and cultural practice intersect with history and politics. Much of his recent output focuses on Yorùbá literary and cultural traditions, including proverbs, divination, and panegyric (praise poetry).
Publications were steady to slightly increasing from 2017 through 2021, followed by a multi-year gap with no recorded output until a single publication in 2025.
