Description

Vedrana Velickovic is a final year PhD candidate and a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Kingston University, London. She is currently writing up her doctoral thesis which explores the idea of (un)belonging in post-1990s black British and Former Yugoslav women’s writing. She is also organising a Life Writing Seminar Series within the Centre for Life Narratives at Kingston to be held throughout the Spring semester 2010, and co-organising a postgraduate conference titled "Migrancy and/in the Text" to be held at Kingston University in July 2010.
