Overview
Now in the third year of my AHRC-funded doctoral research at the University of Manchester, my project focuses on narratives of resilience with asylum-seeking and refugee women in Stoke-on-Trent. The project is primarily supervised by Dr Anastasia Valassopoulos and Professor Mariangela Palladino (Keele University).
I obtained my Master's at the University of Edinburgh in International and European Politics. My dissertation compared refugee integration policy in England and Scotland. I have also written for various publications, including The Guardian, The Independent, and Newsweek.
Areas of interest: representations of resilience, the intersection of postcolonial literatures and cultures, migration and diaspora; arts-based research as a form of inquiry; representations of displaced women; representations of contemporary migration.
