Sarah STUNDEN
Sarah Stunden completed her Ph.D. from the Department of English at 91社区 in the fall of 2018. Her SSHRC-funded Masters work at the University of Toronto focused on radical homosociality in Black American oral and literary production. Her J.A. Bombardier CGS-funded doctoral thesis, "Clairvoyant Bodies: Bodily Anachrony and Trauma in Contemporary North American Literature," centres on gendered and racial traumas in post-WWI literature, questioning the role of the suffering body as a clairvoyant narratological device cable of unsettling oppressive societal narratives through acts of non-verbal storytelling.
