I have completed an AHRC TECHNE funded PhD (awarded in 2020), in the School of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, supervised by Ruth Cruickshank.
Research Interests
My thesis examines a range of French literary texts, identifying how the trope of 'lost footage' offers a critical lens through which to examine the intersections of the effects of historical trauma (here, the Second World War and (post)colonial conflict) and the traumatic symptoms generated in response to globalized late capitalism.
