Jentery Sayers

I'm a PhD student in the Department of English and the Cultural, Social and Political Thought programme. I completed a Master's in English at York University and a Master's in Philosophy at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. My undergrad degree in English Literature was completed at the University of British Columbia.

My research interests centre around end-of-world narratives and what they make visible.  I'm developing the concept of 'world unmaking' to explore how tales of the end might be used to present worlds beyond our own, giving expression to realities that render inoperable our preconceived notions of the 'normal world.'

I'm also a professional journalist and co-founder and editor of The Narwhal
