This research examines dismemberment in early modern drama to explore how cultural systems shape human responses to violence. By analysing plays such as Titus Andronicus, the project argues that fear and disgust are historically conditioned rather than purely instinctive, revealing how societies teach audiences to interpret violent imagery across different historical periods

This research examines misrepresentation of autistic individuals in media, particularly when non-autistic actors portray autistic roles. It highlights how such portrayals reinforce stereotypes and contribute to social harm. Using interdisciplinary methods and audience analysis, the study advocates for authentic inclusion of autistic voices in media production to improve representation and reduce ableism.
