Personal profile

Research Interests

Interested in multidisciplinary creative and innovative approaches to research and research methods and dissemination. Particularly interested in intersectional media critique, speculative storytelling and alternative techno futures, and performance. Focussing on recent studies on new materialisms and feminist critical posthumanism, I am interested in examining how the posthuman paradigm, by postulating the queering of identities via the entanglement with other than-human actors, including technology, and by interrogating a multiplicity of epistemologies and modes of existence within a broader ecological context, can foster more inclusive and ethically sound ways of being in the world. Mobilising the framework and methodology of composting-with-care as a pedagogical and analytical tool to foster epistemic diversity, I am working towards demonstrating the importance of combining theoretical concerns with embodied practice to deliver socially and politically relevant scholarship.
