Sarah is a PhD student in Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies. Her SSHRC-funded dissertation takes up the figure of the serial killer as a discursive construction key to establishing and securing interconnected categories of criminality, deviance, and identity in the popular imagination throughout the 20th century. Her other research interests include monstrosity, true crime, and horror media.

I'm only really curious about why we live: what kinds of faith subtends the mechanics of our day-to-day survival; the manner & the style through which we express our vitality. In the language of the University, I translate this curiosity into such terms as "experiential performance-based research": for my PhD I want to gather a collective of multimodal artists who are interested in spirituality and mystical experience to work at the limits of their practices, and to dissolve their limits into the mutation-structure of the group. Call it a cult but with no centre, no dogma, no direction.
