Devon Harvey is a first-year PhD student working under the supervision of Dr. Jane Tolmie. Their research examines how works of speculative fiction chronicle misconceptions of and re-story narratives for crip and queer futurity. They are interested in exploring how (dis)ability, gender, ableism, and transphobia interact in speculative fiction and how these shifting narratives impact the futures that speculative fictions dare to imagine.
