I have taught on UEA’s undergraduate literature programme, leading three seminar groups for the Year 1 / Level 4 module Reading Now (2024; 2025).

In 2026 I will convene and teach the Year 3 / Level 6 module Banned Books.

I am a CHASE-funded doctoral researcher in the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing. My PhD research focuses on communism, decolonialism, and interractions between the individual and scales of collectivity in Doris Lessing's writing and archive. I am undertaking research in the British Archive for Contemporary Writing, UEA and the Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas at Austin. Through my research I am hoping to shed light on the contents of Lessing's vast archive and encourage new generations of students, researchers, and readers to engage with and value her work.

I studied BA English and American Literature and Culture at the University of Hull, and MSc Equality Studies at University College Dublin. In between my studies and beginning this PhD I worked in numerous social justice and human rights organisations, including WeMove Europe, Liberty, and the Irish Penal Reform Trust.
