CURRENT INTERESTS:
My research explores the representation(s) of climate crisis in narrative, fictional and filmic, especially in sci-fi. Specifically, I’m interested in how climate anxiety is manifested visually in post-apocalyptic and dystopian cinema, and how that anxiety is translated to anxieties about the human body, especially the female body (and fertility).
