Anna Chiari is a trilingual PhD researcher at the University of Edinburgh, investigating the intersection of trauma, gender, and postcolonial studies. Beyond academia, she works as a writer and cultural journalist, contributing to international magazines and festivals. Her creative practice spans short stories, poetry, and screenwriting, including archival documentary.

Graduated from the National Film and Television School in London, Anna specialises in script editing and creative development, collaborating with emerging writers to shape stories, unlock creative potential, and bring new voices to the screen. Bridging rigorous scholarship with creative practice, she is dedicated to exploring how narratives—literary, journalistic, or cinematic—interrogate silence, consciousness, and the limits of representation.
