My teaching on the Integrated Foundation Year is focused around the Humanities, catering specifically to students who will be progressing into the Departments of English and Creative Writing, and Theatre Film and Television Studies, while also lecturing on broader core and skills-based modules. 

My PhD research focused on British sensation fiction of the 1860s, with a specific focus on how it interacts with contemporary fashion narratives. My current research is broadly focused on Victorian and Neo-Victorian Fiction, and textual representations of the corset and, by extension, the female body.
