Research Interest

  • Exploring the intersections of feminist philosophy, environmental humanities, and speculative storytelling, with a particular interest in how narratives challenge extractive logics and anthropocentric worldviews. It focuses on relationality, care, and multispecies ethics as conceptual frameworks to engage with questions of ecological justice, gendered subjectivities, and the imagination of alternative futures.
  • Introducing Communicative English through interdisciplinary encounters with fiction, sustainability narratives and practical necessities (considering the emergence of GEN-AI). It is concerned with reimagining classroom practices that move beyond functional language instruction toward critical, creative, and ethically (and culturally) attuned communication
