My thesis is provisionally entitled: Frames and Cuts: Post-Millennial Representations of West Asian Female Identities.

I am investigating mediations of female identities in texts and media that represent West Asian women in the contemporary period, and exploring models of witnessing, visualising, and testimony.

My current research interests include: postcolonial feminism(s); inter-media relations (written text, visual media); West Asia; the Middle-East; post-9/11; geo-politics/ transnational relations; testimony/ witnessing; politics of translation; Orientalism(s) and Imperialism(s); graphic novels (esp. in postcolonial contexts); and fantastical and/or gothic (esp. in postcolonial/global texts).

I am currently a seminar tutor for ENGL101: World Literature.

I am the Founder and Exectutive Editor for LUX: Undergradute Journal of Literature and Culture. The journal was founded in 2016, and its inaugrual issue is expected to be released by Summer 2017.

While founded in the Department of English and Creative Writing, the journal is interdisciplinary and values the contributions from  Lancaster students across all FASS faculties.

The journal welcomes works from students that offers incisive, original, and scholarly rigorous comment on areas of literaturea and culture. The journal is a celebraton of Lancaster students' efforts and excellence and a platform for presenting relevant, exciting research that is helpful and interesting to both students and staff.
