academic work
I have degrees in English Literature and Medical Humanities.
Below are some of my projects. I am particularly interested in how writers portray consciousness and mental states, illness narratives, Disability Studies, DIY publishing, informally-published/handmade texts/artworks/zines, material culture in general, aesthetics of cuteness and more. If anyone is interested in these topics, feel free to email me!
