MA Student, research-creation in literary studies

Solarpunk is a subgenre of science fiction that aims to think about future-oriented solutions and to deploy these possible better futures in stories. The environment (physical, social, political, etc.) is at the heart of the issues of this literary genre. As part of my master's project in research-creation, I am particularly interested in issues related to neurodiversity, accessibility and inclusion of people with disabilities. My goal is to create a solarpunk story from this perspective.

Supervisor: to be determined
