Supervisor: Professor Ankhi Mukherjee

Research Interests: Speculative fiction, refugee literature, urban studies, the politics of representation, gender studies, decoloniality, ‘world’ literatures, and feminisms.

Doctoral Research: My project seeks to explore the possibilities for thinking through social incoherence in urban geopolitics using literary studies of contemporary speculative fiction. I work on authors such as China Miéville, Kazuo Ishiguro, Lauren Beukes, George Orwell, Octavia E Butler, and Paolo Bacigalupi, exploring the productive ambiguities of genre within a decolonial framework.
