About

Lexie Angelo is a writer, researcher, and artist specializing in liminal geographies, setting, and literary places. She is interested in the Canadian Gothic, post-colonial literature, monstrosity, and liminal sites, as well as exploring new creative techniques and methods to evoke 'place' in art.

Her academic and critical scholarship is grounded in storytelling that explores identity, place, and social transformation. She builds on place-oriented experiential techniques to create emotional engagement with liminal places such as highways, borders, and natural wonders.

She has a PhD in creative writing from the University of Edinburgh and has published her writing internationally. She also delivers lectures, workshops and keynote speeches on futures-thinking, public policy, creative economies and liminal spaces.

Alongside her creative practice, she works collaboratively with organizations, museums, as well as academic and cultural institutions to activate storytelling, connect with audiences through narratives, and infuse cities with artistic place-making.

Liminal Collective

Lexie Angelo (University of Edinburgh) is also a founding member of the Liminal Collective along with Sam Le Butt (University of Bristol). They specialize in unique research-creation methodologies, creative writing projects on liminal spaces and gothic landscapes, and artist talks on fungal horror, crime narratives, and gothic figurations. Some of their projects include a Spring into Research Methods workshop, funded by the Scottish Graduate School of Social Sciences, and the launch of Fungal Gothic, a co-edited collection forthcoming from the University of Wales Press.
