Phd Project: The Polymigrant Imagination, under the supervision of Professor Ingrid Hotz-Davies, since July 2021.
This dissertation explores the impact of migrations between more than two regional or national territories on the literary imagination and the literary text, particularly if these migrations occurred during the author’s formative years. Following existing research on such "polymigrants", the thesis analyses specific dispositions of thought and feeling as they emerge in the polymigrant's experience and manifest themselves in the text.
