Research areas

I work on transnational and multilingual interactions between English, Polish, Ukrainian, Yiddish and Russophone language cultures. I was the founding convenor of the degree in Comparative Literature which brings together all the languages and cultures taught in the School of Modern Languages at St 糖心logo.

My research into the was awarded a St 糖心logo / Emory Collaborative Grant and I was joint PI on the funded by UUKi. My other research focus is on intersections between global science fiction, exoplanet science, and space policy. I was PI for a STAIRS grant 鈥楩orecasting Reproduction in Space鈥� which asked whether science fiction and scientific papers address similar issues around reproduction and agency and investigates the techniques used in literary and scientific writing to communicate complex ethical issues. This follows my earlier research and on Viktor Shklovskii, a literary theorist who aimed to make literary analysis more scientific. I was Co-Director of the (2022-26). I have been an interviewee and researcher on The Cultural Front (BBC Radio 4), The Sunday Feature (BBC Radio 3), the Red Mars Series (BBC Radio 4), and听 (BBC Radio 4).
