I am a practice based Creative Writing PhD student, writer, Converge Tutor, and Casual Academic. My PhD research examines nonhuman-animal narratives, and posthuman theory exploring how literary representations of nonhuman-animals can break down species and ontological boundaries between human-animals and the world.
I currently hold a Masters with Distinction from the University of Sheffield, and have had several short stories, poems, and essays published in print and online collections.
I've taught on the undergraduate module Forms of Narrative, and run the Converge writing course Writing the Uncanny.
Alongside my PhD research I am a member of the Hauntology and Spectrality Research Group, and Ecological Justice Research Group at York St John University. My research interests include:
- Posthumanism
- Folk Horror
- The Uncanny
- The Weird
- Nonhuman Narratives
- Folk and Fairytales
- Myths
Recent publications
I have co-organised the Haunted Soundscapes Symposium.
