About
My research and teaching interests include disability and trauma studies, care studies, postcolonial environmental humanities, animal studies, and film theory. Located at the intersection of critical disability studies and trauma theory, my current book project attends to the discursive and non-discursive representations of somatic pain and psychological trauma in the literatures and cinemas of minority groups in the context of the Middle East.
