About
My research project
Aquafuturism: Oceanic Imaginaries in 21st Century Atlantic SFMy project explores ocean ecologies in contemporary science fiction. I explore how these texts figure decolonial, queer and ecocritical storytelling for environmental justice in the Atlantic and the seabed ecologies of the Middle Passage. Too, I explore the way sea creature embodiments are used as an expression of queer, multispecies futurity.
