Lindsay Diehl

As a creative writer and critical scholar, I often blend scholarly and creative methodologies to explore intersecting issues of nationalism, settler-colonialism, race, gender, and identity. I am particularly interested in how storytelling allows for personal, emotional, and affective elements frequently overlooked in conventional forms of criticism.
