Ph.D. candidate and a postgraduate teaching assistant at the University of Leeds. The Ph.D. focuses on the multilingual, multimodal, and political utopias within the works of three 20th-century avant-garde poets: Tristan Tzara, Isidore Isou, and Gherasim Luca. The research is a comprehensive study of the various languages employed in their poetry, including non-European languages, and explores the wide-ranging cultural influences, including those from Jewish and non-Western art. The project aims to provide a comparative and multimodal analysis of the dadaist, lettrist, and surrealist performances of these poets.
