Taneisha Urquhart

Taneisha Urquhart's research interests include Caribbean, Romantic, and Victorian literature with special emphasis on childhood trauma in the Victorian novel. Her master’s thesis helped to reimagine trauma studies in the Victorian novel by reading across national and historical boundaries to articulate an ethics of care that move beyond trauma’s unknowability toward locating the resilience that, on the one hand, locates and inscribes trauma’s meaning, and, on the other hand, negotiates a recovery process that challenges our linear conceptions of time and memory.
