I am a postdoctoral fellow in English Literature at Exeter College, specialising in Romantic-era literature and visual culture. I hold a BA in Classics and English (Trinity College, Oxford), an MA in Art History, Curatorship, and Renaissance Culture (Warburg Institute), and a PhD in English and Art History (Tate Britain and the University of York).
I am interested in intersections between literature, visual art, and mapping. My doctoral thesis focused on William Blake, eighteenth-century cartography, and the legacy of Blake’s cartographic imagination up to the present day. I am currently rewriting my PhD thesis for publication as a monograph. My other new research project focuses on global images in eighteenth-century literature and visual culture.
I teach English Literature 1760-1830 (Final Honour School Paper 5) to undergraduate students at Exeter College. I also support the teaching of students visiting Exeter College as part of the Williams-Exeter Programme at Oxford (WEPO).
I am keen to hear from students and researchers interested in literary geography, radicalism and dissent, William Blake, cartography, psychogeography, and small-press publishing.
