Georgia Bridgett

Hi, I’m Georgia, a Policy Advisor by profession and academically trained in literature and history. In 2018 I graduated from the University of Liverpool with a BA (Hons) English degree, specialising in 20th and 21st century women’s writing. In my free time I uses this website and personal projects to explore my passion for writing, literature and art. In 2020 I completed an MA in Social History of Art at the University of Leeds where my dissertation explored Ariella Azoulay’s theory of ‘watching’ photographs to further understand how citizens engage with photographs of Syrian refugees in the media.

Throughout and alongside my Master’s degree, I developed a deep interest in Middle Eastern history, culture and politics and am passionate about challenging common stereotypes and misconceptions about the MENA region. This led me to intern for two months with Pink Jinn and create MENAb00ks. MENAb00ks is where I explore my passion for literature about the MENA region.

I have also written for charities and these articles are linked in the portfolio. My personal blog on this website is currently in development. I am interested in using this space to highlight writers who have written about war from the 20th and 21st centuries; especially thinking about the importance of the female perspective. Other interests include the influence of music on literature, as well as writers who experiment with structure.

Thank you for visiting.
