Biography

Sura Qadiri specializes in postcolonial literature, particularly focusing on the Maghreb and contemporary French literature. Her work addresses themes of social diversity. She authored the book 'Postcolonial Literature Sacred Scripture, Rewriting Divine?' (2014), which examines the idea of literature as a space for generating personalized language that expresses private notions of the divine. Currently, Dr. Qadiri is engaged in a new book project titled 'Postsecular Poetics: Reading Religion in French Francophone Writing,' which looks at literary writing that addresses the social tensions between secular and religious ways of thinking. She is open to inquiries from potential MPhil and PhD students whose research interests align with her own.
