SUMMER I RESEARCH PROJECT: "The Dangers of a Single Story"
Have you ever stopped to think about the power a story has? How it can linger in the back of your mind for days, months, lifetimes... During my Research Project I will look at how the European literary canon has influenced the writing of African and African American authors in children's literature

Hi! I am a third-year English student at TCD. If I had to define my field of interest it would be words... How they are used to influence others and the way they shape us and the world we live in. My Research project focuses precisely on that: how the words that have been written over and over again in literature, and that we now recognise as the "literary canon", have influenced the view of those who are not part of this canon, or whose voices have not been heard.
In my free time you can find me writing, painting or wandering in nature.
If you have any similar interests or if you want to know more about my research shoot me a text here on the network, I'd love to connect!
