Join Dr Lisa Cherry in conversation with Annalisa Toccara-Jones on liminality and adoption.

Annalisa is a Doctoral researcher in Journalism at the University of Sheffield, an award-winning cultural producer, communications strategist, and graduate teaching associate. As an adoptee, her research explores how UK adult adoptees use social media to challenge dominant adoption narratives and highlight the colonial logics that shape UK adoption, drawing on decolonial theory, the theory of intersectionality, and critical adoption studies. She teaches on media, identity, and social justice, and her work spans digital storytelling, community engagement, and lived-experience-led practice. Outside academia, she supports charities and creative projects with narrative strategy and ethical communications focused on adoption, racialised care, and wider public dialogue.
