Corinna has been conducting an ongoing study now for two years. This study combines her backgrounds in philosophy and sociology in an exploration of embodiment and it's boundaries. The eventual outcome of this research will be a text which explores traditional models of embodiment such as dualistic medical models and binarized models of sexuality. These will be critically compared to situated experiences of embodiment which transgress their boundaries. Anorexic bodies, virtual bodies and multi-sexual bodies are among those explored.

Most recently, Corinna has begun to a collection of stories called F(r)ictions. She aims for the text to include writing that challenges the boundaries between fact and fiction and develops an imagination befitting our age.

"I am fascinated by the boundaries that people set about themselves or have imposed upon them, and particularly events and processes which disrupt these territories. Through my writing I often try to explore the effects of active transgressions of such boundaries."
