The Researcher in Residence is a format designed as an opportunity for students and staff alike to form connections with internationally renowned researchers. The idea is to go beyond the usual types of classes and to be able to get up close and personal with the researcher both on the topic(s) of their research but also their experience in academia in their field and their country.

With our workshop, we wish to address this research lacuna and explore the representation of feminised forms of work in contemporary literature.
