Biography :
I am a second-year PhD student and enrolled in the Collaborative Specialization in Women’s Health at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. In my research, I am interested in how contemporary women writers communicate their experiences of mental ill-health –and the ways in which these intersect with race, gender, sexuality and class – through life writing.
