Samantha Trayhurn

is currently undertaking a Doctor of Creative Arts under the supervision of Anthony Uhlmann, Ben Etherington and Gail Jones. Samantha is interested in world literature as a process for exploring non-unitary, post-human subjectivity. She is influenced by Spinoza’s monism, as well as theorists such as Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari, and Rosi Braidotti.

Samantha has a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) from Griffith University, and a Bachelor of Science. She is interested in expanding upon a cross-disciplinary creative arts practice that investigates global ecologies, both natural and conceptual. Her PhD novel is concerned with exploring transcultural topologies through migration, interspecies subjectivity and transcorporeality.

Samantha has had creative work published in LiNQ Journal, Pure Slush and Art Ascent. In 2017, she presented at the Australasian Association for Literatures ‘Literary Environments: Place, Planet and Translation’ conference, and organises live readings and creative workshops via CrossCurrent Creative. Her social commentary also appears in the Overland online magazine.
