Graduate Student, English Literature
PhD Candidate and Postgraduate Tutor
About
I hold a Diploma (MA) in English and French Language and Literature from the University of Zadar, Croatia and an MA in Postmodern Fictions from Aberystwyth University, Wales.
At the moment, I am pursuing a PhD in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh where I was awarded the Edinburgh Global Overseas Research Scholarship as well as the Global Supplementary Grant from the Open Society Foundation. I am a reader for the James Tait Black Memorial Prizes and co-organizer of the Work in Progress seminars at the University of Edinburgh.
My PhD thesis explores African American women writers’ neo-slave narratives, embodiment and various discourses surrounding pain, its metaphors and (in)expressibility by closely looking at novels by Margaret Walker, Gayl Jones, Octavia Butler, Toni Morrison and Phyllis Alesia Perry.
In addition to African American literature, (neo)slave narratives and the Black Atlantic, I am passionate about Australian Indigenous narratives and more broadly, critical race studies, postcolonial and feminist theory and pedagogy.
