Research activity per year
After completing an undergraduate degree at King's College, London in French and Philosophy in 2009, I began a Masters' degree in Women's Studies at the University of Oxford funded by the Thomas and Elizabeth Williams Scholarship. I wrote my PhD thesis funded by the AHRC in the Department of French at King’s College London, working on the reception and development of queer theory in France and questions of the representation of the body through literature, philosophy and visual art.
Before starting my PhD, I worked at Oxford and at the University of East London in student support and welfare, and later in Diversity & Inclusion for King’s College London.
I spent a year abroad as an undergraduate at l'Université Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV), funded by the Erasmus scheme. I also received the Crompton Scholarship to attend the ENS in Lyon, 2015-16.
Elliot is the author of Queer Permeability: The Body in French Thought from Wittig to Preciado (2020). Their research is concerned with the varied constructions of sexuality and gender across cultures; with the biopolitical formation of these identities, and the ways in which they are elaborated through writing and visual production.
My work has focused on questions of the body: Queer Permeability being concerned with the question of how to approach the material body within the context of contemporary French queer works, particularly those by Paul B. Preciado, Monique Wittig and the performance artist ORLAN.
For some time, my work has also been concerned with the biopolitical management of bodies and illness, not just by states but in the interests of neo-colonialism and global capitalism. As such, my current research project is a comparative analysis of the visual language of HIV/AIDS across four national contexts: Democratic Republic of Congo, France, Haïti, Québec, specifically looking at experimental film and video art.
