Thesis title:

Form-crossers: Mixed-race characters at the intersection of fiction and non-fiction

My PhD project explores the representation of mixed-race characters in contemporary literary genres which blur the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction. I’m curious whether forms like autofiction open up new ways of representing mixedness. My research informs a critical essay and a novel.
