Biography
I am a Lecturer in C 18th/19th English Literature, working within the School of Arts, Media, and Creative Technology at the º£½ÇÂÒÂ×. I am also the Admissions Lead for English and the Programme Leader for BA (Hons) English Literature.
After gaining a BA (hons) in English Literature and an MA in Literature, Culture, and Modernity from the º£½ÇÂÒÂ× between 2006 and 2010, I completed a joint-doctorate in English Literature at the º£½ÇÂÒÂ× and Ghent University in 2014.
I taught English Literature as a Doctoral Research Fellow at Ghent University in 2013. Alongside working as an Associate Lecturer for the º£½ÇÂÒÂ× between 2014 and 2019, I worked as a trustee for the Book-Cycle Charitable Trust—a volunteer run charity which seeks to empower communities both in the UK and in developing countries through the provision of free books and educational resources. I became a Lecturer in C 18th/19th English Literature in 2019, and I teach on a variety of modules in English across Levels 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. I completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice in 2020, leading to my recognition as a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2021.
I have received specialised training in printmaking and, in addition to presenting conference papers in both Europe and America, I have published several articles on William Blake and David Lynch.
