Postdoctoral Research Associate
Dr Olivia Glaze is a gender and postimperial studies scholar with extensive experience teaching and researching Lusophone literatures, film, and photography. She was awarded her DPhil from the University of Oxford, and is currently a Visiting Fellow at the Institute for Languages, Cultures and Society, funded by an MHRA Research Scholarship in Modern European Languages. Her research interests span representations of illness, trauma, and disability; coloniality and the legacies of imperialism; and contemporary women’s life-writing. Her scholarship is grounded in the gendered experiences of key periods of 21st-century history in the Portuguese-speaking world, namely: the Estado Novo dictatorship; the Portuguese Empire and Colonial War; and the decolonisation era in Lusophone Africa.
