Dr Anna Ball is a Senior Lecturer in English, who teaches widely across the fields of contemporary literary studies, postcolonial studies and gender studies. Dr Ball's research is concerned with the intersection of postcolonialism and feminism, and their growing pertinence to questions of culture, identity and power within the Middle East. She works with literature, film and visual culture, and is particularly interested in Palestine and Afghanistan as emergent sites of postcolonial enquiry. Her monograph, Palestinian Literature and Film in Postcolonial Feminist Perspective, was published on the Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures Series in 2012. She also recently co-edited a Special Issue on 'Palestine and the Postcolonial' with Patrick Williams for the Journal of Postcolonial Writing, 50.2 (2014). With Karim Mattar, she is currently co-editing an edited collection of essays on The Postcolonial Middle East. Also deeply interested in theoretical questions of space, border-crossing and embodiment, Dr Ball is currently working on a new monograph, The Body in Flight: Gender, Mobility and Creativity in an Uneven World, which explores the gender politics of mobility in literary and filmic narratives of displacement and refugeeism. As well as being a member of CTWS, Dr Ball co-directs The Centre for Postcolonial Studies (PSCNTU) at NTU with Dr Jenni Ramone.
