Alicia Edwards-Boon completed her PhD with the Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies at Manchester Metropolitan University. Her work explores how “the Other” has been expressed through Gothic-inspired language and images of panic, terror, and violence. This interest in how the Gothic has been used to communicate longstanding anxieties about difference, race, class, and gender has been articulated into publications that cover a spectrum of issues, from the erasure of Jack the Ripper’s female victims from lucrative terror tours to the gentrification of working-class Manchester’s Ordsall Hall as site worthy of inclusion in England’s aristocratic haunted heritage. She is gratified to have this postdoctoral opportunity to share and extend her intersectional work on the Gothic by creating an interdisciplinary database that catalogues cultural artifacts essential to developing an understanding of the Black Canadian experience. Ultimately, any scholar could search common Gothic, historical or cultural keywords and access links that would correlate a range of cultural productions by and about Black Canadians with traditional scholarship in the humanities.
