Profile
I am a first year practice-led PhD student and poet at the University of Leeds, where I also studied BA (Hons) English Literature with Creative Writing and MA Creative Writing, achieving a First Class and Distinction respectively. I am a part of the Medical Hamantities Research Group, the Centre for Practice Research in the Arts anbd Poetry@Leeds.
Research interests
Critically, I engage with the concept of ‘leaky bodies’, affectivity, and disabled hyper-visibility within contemporary literature, media and culture. I aim to embed these interests within my creative output, eventually serving to establish a sub-genre of Crip Poetics, one which I am terming, ‘Sick Poetics’.
I am also a part of Medical humanities research Group, the Centre for Practice Research in the Arts and Poetry@Leeds.
