    Conferences & Talks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Current Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Alongside my published work, I am currently developing academic research in English and Anglophone literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    My research interests include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Victorian Literature<\/strong>
    Travel & Exploration Writing<\/strong>
    Representations of Alterity<\/strong>
    Speculative Fiction<\/strong>
    Gothic & Popular Literature<\/strong>
    The Literary Imagination of the Unknown<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I am particularly interested in the ways nineteenth-century literature transforms scientific knowledge, exploration and encounters with unfamiliar cultures into narratives of imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Academic Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Master’s Research \u2014 English & Anglophone Literature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Current research projects explore nineteenth-century literature, travel writing, exploration and speculative fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Selected academic work, papers and research notes will be published here as the projects develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
