Research interests
Her research examines the interrelationship between ethics, literature and philosophy. Her doctoral thesis dealt with the late fictions of Henry James and addressed the themes of friendship, love, secrecy, mourning and decision-making in James’s novels. The writings of Jacques Derrida, Gillian Rose, Jean-Luc Nancy, Søren Kierkegaard and Maurice Blanchot were read alongside James in order to provide a philosophical perspective on these themes.
Her current research activity continues the work of her PhD. Suzie is particularly interested in exploring the efficacy of literature as an aesthetic force whose indirect mode of address and inventiveness has the capacity to engender and negotiate ethico-philosophical questions and concerns.
