What do the novel Trespasses, a play called Tactics for Time Travel in a Toilet, and the Booker prize winning novel Milkman have to do with one another? Dr Stefanie Lehner can tell you.
A senior lecturer at Queen’s, Lehner conducts interdisciplinary research around post-conflict literary and cultural work, and is fascinated by the ways in which these three works look back to the Troubles. Yet, despite the trauma and tragedies that they deal with, they also foreground small glimmers of “utopian potentials” for the future.
