Profile

Adina Stroia is a Lecturer in French and Francophone Studies at Newcastle University. She completed her PhD at the University of Kent, and holds a BA in French and an MA in French and Comparative Literature from the same university. Her PhD, supported by the AHRC, explored the narratives of loss and mourning in contemporary French women’s writing by examining the works of Marie Nimier, Camille Laurens and Annie Ernaux, and investigated the absences found at the centre of their texts and analyse the privileged relationship between trauma, autofiction and women’s writing.
