About Me
My Photo
Hannah Thompson
I am a Reader in French at Royal Holloway, University of London. I am
interested in representations of the body, more specifically
disability. I am particularly interested in blindness and how the
sighted and partially sighted and the blind and partially blind relate
to each other. Follow me on Twitter @BlindSpotHannah
