Before moving on to philosophy, he finished a Bachelor of Applied Sciences in Industrial Engineering at the same institution. He is mainly interested in the intersections of literature and philosophy. In his research, he aims to critique &#8216;liberal&#8217; modes of reading and develop &#8216;relational&#8217; ones that can equip readers with the sensibilities and responsibilities to engage care-fully with marginalized, oppressed communities. Central to his project is the hope that, in and through a care-ful, relational reading of certain novels (in particular Indigenous lit., diasporic fictions, African-American lit., etc.), one becomes more attentive and responsive to the ambiguous relationships that exists between reader and author, between the self and its social world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":13288,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Tristan ","cu_people_last_name":"Ayran","cu_people_initials":"TA","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[48],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-12632","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-student"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"MA Student","cu_people_degree":"BA (University of Regina), (BASc) University of Regina ","cu_building":"","cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/12632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/12632\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13332,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/12632\/revisions\/13332"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=12632"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=12632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
