Research Interests

My current research focuses on how technology intersects with feelings of loneliness using psychosocial and psychoanalytic theory.

Past research has investigated why violence arises between different cultures, prompting either voluntary or forced migrations. The way that the body in flight sustains injury and then either remembers or forgets it, has led me to study trauma and its relation to history as well as emotions and their cultural production. I’m also invested in discovering how violent political events play out in domestic spaces as well as how they impact different genders in different ways.

Creative Interests

I am always looking for different ways to blend research with creative practices and I am part of a growing group of scholars who operate within the genre of the ‘creative critical’. I use a number of creative techniques which have included fictional biography, poetry, collaging and more recently I have been working on ceramic sculpture.
