Marion Troxler completed her studies in English Languages and Literatures and World Literature at the University of Bern and has joined the SNSF-funded project The Beach in the Long Twentieth Century for her PhD project under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Virginia Richter. Drawing on the Blue Humanities, Animal, Gender and Critical Body Studies, Marion's project hopes to contribute to understanding how embodied hybridity in merfolk literature serves as a means of resistance and engenders possible counter-narratives to hegemonic patriarchal power structures.
