Henghameh Saroukhani

I am Associate Professor in Black British Literature at Durham University. My research interests span the fields of Black British and Black Atlantic literatures and cultures, migrant writing, cosmopolitanism, new materialism, autotheory, and dub poetry. I hold degrees from the University of Alberta (BA, Political Science and English), the University of British Columbia (MA, English), and the University of Leeds (PhD, English).

I am co-editor of a commemorative special issue on Andrea Levy (ARIEL 2022), and another on the Windrush scandal (Wasafiri 2023). Currently, I am completing a book on political solidarity and contemporary Black British writing, an archival project on the extended history of the Windrush scandal (funded by a Leverhulme Research Fellowship) and, as editor, the forthcoming Cambridge Companion to the Twenty-First-Century Black and Asian British Novel. Lastly, I am in the early stages of a co-written book on immigration law, notions of documentality and experimental global migration literatures.

I am also the Reviews Editor for the postcolonial journal ARIEL: A Review of International English Literature.
