My research explores contemporary literary work by feminist writers to ask how discourses of violence articulate geography as differentially gendered in post-partition contexts of Palestine, Ireland, and India. My methodology centers questions of historiography, expression beyond representation, and creative practice as feminist work to understand how writers write violence in the context of specific histories.
