Biography
Currently the SNSF postdoctoral researcher at UQAM, I was awarded my PhD in English, French and Comparative literature, Faculty of Arts, University of Lausanne, in March 2022. My research outputs draw on a range of questions including novelistic time and memory, postcolonial space and writing back to the misconceptions about Global wars to expand disciplinary canons and boundaries. I focus on both non-Western and Western literary productions in my thesis and peer-reviewed articles. I previously completed my BA in English Language and Literature and MA in European Literary Cultures at the University of Upper Alsace, France and University of Bologna, Italy. My monograph entitled ‘Catherine Colomb’s VISION OF TIME: in Dialogue with Marcel Proust and Virginia Woolf’, exploring the English and French literary writings of usually marginalized writer and her dialogue with iconic authors, has appeared in Peter Lang’s 2022 editions.
