Biography

I joined the University of St ÌÇÐÄlogo in August 2023 as Lecturer in Comparative Literature in the School of Modern Languages. I hold an MA (King’s College London) and a PhD (University College London) in Comparative Literature, and previously completed a joint honours degree in Music and English at University College Cork.

Before taking up this post, I was a Research Associate at the Policy Institute at King’s College London, contributing to applied, policy-led projects at the intersection of the humanities and social sciences, including managing large, impact-oriented grant-funded initiatives.

My teaching spans the Comparative Literature programme at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, from nineteenth-century European realism and twentieth-century political theatre to the history of utopian writing and thought and critical methods in Comparative Literature.

I am a member of the British Comparative Literature Association and the British Society for Literature and Science.
