Threads that pop up a lot in my research:
-Queer/trans/feminist histories & theories
-Biopolitics
-Theories & histories of education (with focus on imperialism, gender & sexuality)
-19th & 20th century women writers
-Constructions of adolescence
-Life writing
-Comp lit & intertextualities

The basics:
- PhD student at the Uni of Birmingham, looking at representations of gender, sexuality and nationalism in 20th century women's boarding school novels (written for ADULTS, not children!) from the UK, France and Germany
- interdisciplinary mess
- usually quite sleepy
