Dr Roxani Krystalli is a Senior Lecturer at the University of St Andrews. A key question animating her work is what sustains life in the face of loss. Roxani co-leads an international research project on how practices of love and care help people imagine lives in the wake of grief, illness, violence, and ecological loss. This project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the German Research Foundation, unfolding in partnership with Dr Philipp Schulz. For over a decade, Roxani has worked in the field of peacebuilding on questions of gender, violence, and justice. Roxani’s first book, Good Victims, was awarded the Lee Ann Fujii prize. Roxani has been recognised with the Early Career Excellence in Teaching award of the British International Studies Association. During her time at Cove Park, she is working on her next book, exploring the pleasures of paying attention.
