Zoë Marriott’s research is in Creative Writing, and seeks to use the canon of contemporary timeslip novels to explore how ‘Romantic’ depictions of subjective and non-linear time may be linked to modern ideas in theoretical physics about how space-time truly functions.
The newly launched blog, An Eddying Flight – which takes its name from Rossetti’s poem ‘Sudden Light’, a piece which is thematically central to Zoë’s research – is a place for Zoë to engage the wider public in discussion about various aspects of her research, to document her journey to a PhD as a first generation university graduate, and to focus on Creative Writing as both an artistic and academic endeavour.
Creative writers and creative writing teachers, budding academics, seasoned post-graduate researchers, and anyone who is interested in higher education or writing, are welcome to join Zoë’s ‘eddying flight’ to a doctorate, and to take part in weekly creativity kickstart sessions on the blog each Thursday.
