Biography :
Emily Amos-Wood is an MA student in the DSR. Her research at St. Joseph's Oratory in Montreal examines pilgrimage as a trope and means of studying the embodied historiography of ritual acts, materiality, and religious sensation and imagination in sacred space. She graduated with a BA in Religious Studies, Gender Studies, and English Literature from the University of Toronto in 2022.
Outside of scholarship, she writes fiction, poetry, and plays, works as a bookseller, and co-organizes the Toronto-based literary series Pack Animal.
