Hello! I'm Aliyah, and I'm about to embark upon my PhD in French Studies. My major interests are colonial and postcolonial women's writing, especially where gender and sexual identity are explored. Part of this is because I'm a lesbian from the (English-speaking) Caribbean, and it intrigues me how "deviant" sexualities are treated in the literature, but it's mostly because it's simply absolutely fascinating!

To relax, I knit, read, cook, dance around my apartment and love on my wife a lot.
