Biography

Danielle Sands is Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literature and Culture at Royal Holloway, University of London.

‘The turn of the twenty-first century and the subsequent continuous emergence of the implications of technological advancement have brought a crisis into the heart of the humanities. . . . Beyond merely philosophizing, Danielle Sands seeks to explore the practical applications of posthuman theory by connecting it with the field of bioethics. . . . The ultimate goal is not simply to revolutionize health studies but to facilitate social justice and equality; now and in our posthuman future.’
