Thesis title: Migrant Suicide

Biography

Background

I am doing my PhD on 'migrant suicide' within the Suicide Cultures project funded by Wellcome Trust

Qualifications

Jan 2021 (ongoing) PhD Health in Social Sciences, University of Edinburgh

MA (Hons) Gender and Sexuality, SOAS University of London, 2018-19

BA (Hons) Philosophy with Classical Studies, University of Liverpool, 2015-18

Current research interests

My primary research interest is in troubling mainstream productions of suicide as devoid of structural context as well as exploring migratism - the ascription of migrant status to non-white bodies regardless of actual migration - as productive of feelings of unbelonging and suicide. More broadly I am interested in feminist and queer theory, writing as inquiry, decolonial and indigenous studies, discourse and narrative analysis, archives.
