Research

My doctoral research explores the intersections of gender, modernism, and environmental thought, examining how modernist writers reconceptualise nature as an active, relational presence. Focusing on the work of Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Zora Neale Hurston, and Jean Toomer, I analyse how ecological experience is registered through literary form, atmosphere, and embodied perception. Bringing British and African American modernisms into dialogue, my research traces shared ecological concerns alongside historically specific engagements with race, gender, land, and labour.Anchored in ecofeminism and posthumanism and extended through Black and decolonial frameworks, my work proposes an integrated ecological approach that reframes ecological modernism as a shared, transnational field shaped equally by British and African American writers. By examining themes of urbanisation, power, ecological entanglement, and cultural survival, I rethink the modernist imperative to “make it new” as a project of making relation and interconnectedness visible. In doing so, my research situates modernist literature within contemporary debates on environmental justice, sustainability, and relational ethics.
