An academic dissects a defining period of self-repair. Through raw reflections on events, thoughts, and their echoes, she navigates a quest for self-improvement and renewal.

Repair immerses readers in the labyrinth of one woman’s past, present, and future—centred on her complex psychological reckoning with equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). Far from liberating, EDI becomes a source of exhaustion for her and those she strives to support.

This work gives voice to the silenced—an homage to choices made in shadows.

Originally from Mauritius, Blandine Emilien has lived in multiple countries between 2004 and 2024. As an academic trained in applied foreign languages, human resource management and the sociology of work, she has endeavoured to give voice to workers in her research and enjoys building collective narratives from the accumulation of individual life stories. To give life to what she observes in her academic research, she has developed projects in which she experiments with blending social science and art. She lives in Bristol, UK.
