🎤 I shall do my re-introduction now that the earthquakes have quieted down on the Commons.

Hello, I'm Anita. I graduated with a PhD in Postcolonial Literature from the University of Queensland in 2012. Currently a senior lecturer at the National University of Malaysia. I started as a postcolonial Gothic scholar. Very much entrenched in phenomenological traditions and everything spatio-temporal along w/ Memory Studies. That's guided a lot of my recent research but I've also been working with #ecoGothic contexts in relation to the #Capitolocene and the #Plantationocene. Theoretically I've published so far 3 poco articles related to Derridean hauntology.

Corpus: I work mostly with contemporary postcolonial Gothic women's fiction, SFF and retold fairytales in exploring all of the above. I'm the editor of Truancy (on indefinite hiatus), a venue of retold folktales and fairytales, and run a yearly Fairytale Salon Seminar Series. #introduction #litodons #philosophy

That's guided a lot of my recent research but I've also been working with #ecoGothic contexts in relation to the #Capitolocene and the #Plantationocene. Theoretically I've published at least three postcolonial Gothic articles related to Derridean hauntology.

Oh, I also enjoy designing courses.

Repost: Guess I should share my one academic article of the year. (disclaimer, I found some post-publication typographic errors that I did not catch. Apologies)
