Emma Derrouazi

Summary
English Literature finalist at Queen Mary University of London, on track to graduate with First Class Honours in September 2025. My academic and creative work spans political discourse, media analysis, and cultural production, with a published essay in Seize Magazine exploring the commodification of creativity in digital spaces. Fluent in four languages and recipient of the IB Bilingual Diploma, I bring a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary perspective to research and writing. I’m now seeking to build on this foundation through a master’s programme in politics and communication, with a focus on how language shapes public narratives and power structures.
