About
After graduating in 2008 with a Bachelor of Human Services at Griffith University, I was accepted into the honours programme where my research thesis Recuperating Heidegger, under the supervision of Dr Fiona Kumari Campbell,was an investigation into the writings of Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) to consider whether his thoughts and beliefs would be insightful in addressing contemporary society and its discriminatory practices towards disabled people. I am in my first year of a full time PhD programme at Griffith. My thesis The Consequence of Resistance will again focus on the philosophical development of Martin Heidegger’s dasein and incorporate the work of Judith Butler’s performativity of identity and notion of precariousness to transcend the physical considerations of the abled/ disabled body, to probe and investigate the essence of humankind’s inauthentic constituents in performing and resisting the ableist social construction known as ‘disability.’ My immediate interests include the European Philosophers; all disability scholarship, particularly relating to Critical Disability Studies and Studies of Ableism, the abject, the notion of ‘otherness’ and Feminist Theory.
