معرفی
Martin Munroe is a Visiting Fellow at the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia (UEA), where he is pursuing a PhD supported by a CHASE Studentship. His work bridges creative and critical approaches to contemporary black British writing, with a focus on identity, masculinity, and social justice.
His educational background includes an MA in Creative Writing from Royal Holloway, University of London, completed with Distinction in 2018. Prior to his doctoral studies, he served as a student adviser at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Martin's research investigates constructions of black male masculinity, class, colonisation, and family in both literary works and his own creative writing. His critical project involves close readings of recent black British novels, particularly in relation to decolonial movements and resistance to anti-Black racism. The creative component is a novel inspired by the tragic deaths of Black teenage boys in London and the cultural rise of Black churches in inner-city communities. Together, these projects examine the contradictions and limitations of black masculinity and sexual identity in the UK and US contexts.
His work contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those addressing racial equity, social inclusion, and justice.
