I am a final year UKRI-funded PhD research student (SWWDTP AHRC) in English at the Universities of Southampton and Bristol. My thesis examines representations of refugee homemaking practices in the UK in contemporary fictional and ethnographic narratives, with a specific focus on the (im)possibilities of creating sanctuary and a sense of home/belonging.
