Thesis title:

Exploring Memory and Migration through the Fragmentary Form of Novella-in-Flash

The novella-in-flash is a hybrid form, fusing the brevity and concision of flash fiction with a novella-length narrative. I aim to explore this emergent genre through creative practice and critical reflection, and particularly its ability to encompass the fragmentary nature of memory in relation to migrant experience.
