Gina Dascal
Representations of Bisexuality and Queer culture in visual media, within the Horror genre and specifically on film.

Other interests include creative writing, English and German romanticism, the figure of the flâneur and peripatetic writing, Latin American literature and literary modernism.
Amy-Leigh Gray
Figurations of girlhood in twentieth-century American literary and cultural representations of farming and meat production. Looking to the intimacies between farmed animals and girls, she tends to questions of reproductive rights and race, disposability and deviancy and queer attachments and interspecies futures. Other research interests include critical animal studies, black feminist thinking, queer theory, modernist literature and performance and dance studies.
Virginia Page Jähne
What began as an interest in deconstructing ageism in the media is being leapfrogged by an interest in medieval ornithological writings and/or the bibliographic study of books.
Golnaz Heidar Jamshidi
Postcolonial literature, postcolonial theories, modern and contemporary literature: 20th and 21st century, neocolonialism, Persian literature, Iranian women writers, American literature, Indigenous literature, comparative literature and drama.

Grace Paizen
Scientific masculinities of gendered technology in literature and science of the long nineteenth century, specifically Romantic and Victorian literary representations that compare women to cyborgs, automata and machines. How Western scientific practices contribute to violence against women and machines and how these practices are explored, perpetuated and challenged in nineteenth-century literature. Other interests include fashion, the fashion model, cultural studies, popular culture and celebrity.
Sakshi Tyagi
How one approaches multi-layered identities within the discourse of African feminisms, the postcolonial nation-state and ethnic reality that these writers situate their characters in, and finally how is the form of realism mixed with traditional modes of expression and mythologies used by third-generation Nigerian women writers in identity-construction. Other interests include African futurism, Afrofuturism and literature of the African diaspora.
