Senior Lecturer
Summary
My research interests are interdisciplinary in literature and law. I am currently working on a project that explores the law and literature of whistleblowing, which spans 18th-century texts focusing on early examples in master and servant relationships and 20th-21st texts featuring contemporary issues.
About
I teach on eighteenth-century and contemporary literature modules. I have an interest in interdisciplinarity.
