Biography

I am a first-year PhD student with a collaborative specialization in Book History and Print Culture. My research considers the intersection between genre and disability in utopian and dystopian literature from the long nineteenth century. I am interested in how disability is used to construct genre, especially given its frequent exclusion from utopian visions of the future.
