Dr Laura Singeot is an Associate Professor in Anglophone Literatures and Visual Studies at Université de Tours, France. She is interested in the representations of Indigeneity in contemporary Indigenous literatures from Australia and Aotearoa-New Zealand, from novels and poetry to dystopic Young adult fiction and Sci-fi. She is also researching new museology and Indigenous visual art, focusing on its integration into global networks of creation, curation and reception. Her latest research project seeks to integrate both of her research interests by examining the ways in which contemporary Indigenous literatures and visual arts engage with and critically reflect upon ethnographic museums. Her methodology rests on a comparative transdisciplinary approach, drawing from concepts theorized in decolonial thought.
