Visiting PhD Student – Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge
The visiting period focused on research into children's and young adult literature, dystopian fiction, and food studies within literary analysis, with participation in international seminars and conference activities hosted by the Faculty of Education.
RESEARCH ACTIVITY
Her research lies at the intersection of children's and young adult literature, dystopian fiction, and food studies. Her doctoral project, Hunger and Rebellion: Narrating Resistance Through Food in YA Dystopias, investigates how YA dystopian narratives deploy food as a mechanism of political control and, simultaneously, as a vehicle for collective resistance. Her broader research interests include the ecological imagination in children's and YA literature, gender and genre fluidity in dystopian fiction, and the posthuman body in Young Adult narratives. She is a member of the Research Group on Adaptation of Children's Classics / Myth Rewriting at Ca' Foscari University of Venice (PI: Prof. Laura Tosi).
