Saxoni, Eftihia

Eftihia Saxoni earned her PhD in English Literature from the University of Edinburgh (2025), specializing in literary theory and, specifically, narratology. During her doctoral studies, she taught undergraduate courses in literary and interdisciplinary subjects. In 2024, she became a reader for the James Tait Black Memorial Biography Prize and served as a representative and co-host for the biography category during the Prize ceremony. In her research, Eftihia explores the significance of contextual narratology in the study of the interplay between form and content in gender-conscious novels. She proposes an expanded form of formalism that moves beyond traditional structuralist foundations, highlighting the need for more critically engaged narratological frameworks. She is an adjunct faculty member of Hellenic American University/College at the English language and Literature program.
