Supervisor: Professor Patrick Hayes
Doctoral research: I'm interested in how contemporary writers describe the internet and the experience of being online. What strategies do writers use to make sense of these fast-paced global information systems? How does an individual meaningfully orient themselves amidst this massive scale? How do writers make the metaphors, coinages, and vernaculars of the internet meaningful to their own lives?
Provisional title: Too much, too fast, too personal: the internet and contemporary writing
I am also the Events Administrator for the Oxford Centre for Life-Writing.
Research interests: "internet" writing; literary essays; internet culture; contemporary non-fiction; cultural criticism; internet sociology; new media studies; philosophy of information/internet; attention studies; language and technology.
