My primary research and teaching area is English literature and culture, and I write on horror, digital narratives, sexuality, and the nineteenth century. My Ph.D., from the University of York, is on Charlotte Brontë. At USN, I teach in the GLU teacher education programme, and, with Jennifer Duggan, run the HK-Dir-funded practice exchange project "English Cooperation between USN and York University" (ECUYU). I was awarded a Teaching Award of Merit (merittert underviser-status) in 2023.
