This week, Will chats to 2nd-year PhD student Danielle Cameron (University of East Anglia) about her research into age, power, and narrative in post-1970 American literature. Focusing on writers such as Colson Whitehead, Don DeLillo, Paul Auster, and Jennifer Egan, Danielle looks at how childhood, adulthood, and old age collide and come undone in the American city space.
Discussing her undergrad research on 'monstrous adolescents' through to her MA research into children's literature, Danielle also offers warm advice to new PhDs about how to stay on track and keep going.
