M. van Lankveld (Marije) MA

Marije van Lankveld is a PhD candidate at the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures and the Radboud Institute for Culture and History (RICH). She is currently working on her PhD project ‘Settler Colonialism by Minority Communities: Irish Women Writers at the North-American and Australian Frontier’. In this project, she explores how Irish migrant women in North America and Australia positioned themselves in relation to settler colonial discourses through their writings, specifically through their representations of Indigenous peoples and the frontier landscape.

Marije holds an MA in Transatlantic Studies and a Research MA in Literary Studies, both obtained at Radboud University. She previously studied English Language and Culture at Radboud University and Newcastle University. Her broader research interests include early modern women’s writing, cultural identity and representation in popular culture and the media, and (post) colonial relations across the Atlantic.
