Biography
Laura Gerday holds a PhD degree in English linguistics and literary studies and is a member of the Centre for Teaching and Research in Postcolonial Studies (CEREP). In November 2024, she publicly defended her thesis, entitled "Where Does the 'Postcolonial' Stand in Twenty-First-Century 'Global' English Linguistics and Anglophone Literary Studies? An Analysis of the Concepts of Variety (of English) and World (Literature)". This doctoral research project, carried out at the University of Liège under the supervision of Daria Tunca, aimed to bring to light what remains of the postcolonial agenda in these two academic disciplines in the so-called era of globalisation. To be more precise, Laura Gerday investigated here the theoretical (dis)connections between world Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca on the one hand, postcolonial literary criticism and world literature on the other hand, by means of methods informed by the field of stylistics.
