Project Outline- How Can Monstrous Portrayals Of Queer People In Literature Inform The Contemporary Politicization Of LGBTQ+ Identity In Reactionary British Media?

This project aims to investigate how narratives of 'queer monstrosity' found in fictional novels are employed in reactionary British media to politicize LGBTQ+ identity by comparing the representation of LGBTQ+ identity in literature and contemporary articles through the lens of 'Monster Theory.'

Hi everyone! My name is Lia and I just finished my second year at the University of Toronto studying English, political science and gender studies. As a member of the 2024 Laidlaw Scholars cohort, I am interested in exploring the intersection of literature and politics, particularly in mitigating harmful tropes in representation. I grew up in the United Kingdom and Canada, and I had the opportunity to study at Pearson College UWC in Victoria, British Columbia.
