Alice Hagopian

Alice Hagopian started her PhD in French studies at Queen’s University Belfast in October 2023. She was awarded an AHRC Northern Bridge studentship for her proposal entitled Neuroqueering French Literature from Stendhal to Wittig (1839-1984). Alice works with creative writing/creative criticism to reveal and explore neuroqueer resonances in fiction. Her research in French studies, Neuroqueer criticism, Feminist/Queer theories and Neurodiversity/Disability/Crip studies enables her to re-evaluate characters from the nineteenth- and twentieth-century French literary canon, and to challenge neuronormative academic practices.
