Teaching Fellow in Postcolonial and World Literature, Durham University
I work on contemporary fiction, with a special focus on cultural memory, material feminism, postcolonial historical fictions, and their intersections with the current ecological crisis. I have published articles and book chapters on A. S. Byatt, David Mitchell, Eleanor Catton, Rose Tremain, and Isabel Allende, and co-edited a collection of essays on imperialism in Victorian travel culture. I obtained my PhD in English from the University of Kent in 2017, where I wrote a thesis on A. S. Byatt and intertextuality. I hold an MA in English and Postcolonial Studies, and a BA in English and French, both from Ca' Foscari University Venice (Italy). I am Teaching Fellow at Durham University since 2021.
