About

I was awarded my PhD in English Literature by the University of Southampton in 2021, and joined as teaching fellow in 2022. I primarily teach on Global Literary Industries Management MA. 

My specific research interests include the intersection between literature and new media, digital culture, and online social life. I am currently writing a book, provisionally titled 'Digital Sociability in Contemporary Fiction', that explores the relationship between the novel and modes of online relation.
