About
I am a Lecturer in Scottish Literature at the University of Aberdeen and a Deputy Director of the Research Institute for Irish and Scottish Studies. I teach within the School of Language, Literature Music and Visual Culture and am currently working on my first book which is under contract with Edinburgh University Press.
My research background is in nineteenth century literature and Scottish studies. I am interested in migration, national identity, print culture studies and death studies.
I was awarded a PhD in English Literature from the University of Edinburgh in 2016. My thesis focused on the ground-breaking nineteenth century periodical Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine and was generously supported by the Wolfson Foundation.
I have worked as a Research Assistant on the New Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Works of Robert Louis Stevenson, Leverhulme Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Otago, New Zealand, an Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at University College Dublin and a Fulbright Scottish Studies Scholar at the University of South Carolina, USA.
