Narratological interest

My interest focuses on the use of resistance narrative as a counterpoint to the effects of colonialism. For the past several years, I have concentrated on how the indigenous writers of Australia have redefined genre and syntax as a means of resisting while writing in the language of the colonial power. By engaging in a syntactic/generic revision, these writers are able to assert an authentic voice that creates a grammar of identity.
