Andrea Woodward

Andrea Woodward is an Academic Associate and Postgraduate Researcher in the School of Humanities at York St John University. Her current PhD research investigates themes of reproductive autonomy and coerced reproduction in horror and dystopian fiction. She holds a BA (Hons) in English Literature from York St John University (2009) and an MA in English Studies from the University of Sheffield, where her dissertation analyzed post-9/11 film narratives and the resurgence of misogynistic Lone Male hero tropes.

Her interdisciplinary research bridges literary analysis with sociocultural critiques, focusing on intersections of gender, power, and narrative form in contemporary media.
