Possessions

Davina Quinlivan, author and research fellow at the Department of English and Creative Writing at the University of Exeter, will be at Clemo Books as part of her tour for her new book Possessions.

After two decades of academic research and undergraduate teaching Davina Quinlivan, and the world of university education, were approaching crisis; teaching online, ticking boxes for other people's diversity criteria, stuck, like so many others, in a cycle of fixed term contracts. Yet as a child of Anglo-Burmese parents, growing up in West London, academia had promised a way out. Something better.

The evening will include an interview and there will be time for questions and a book signing at the end.
