Person

I’m a literary critic, fiction writer, and senior lecturer/docent in English studies. I wrote the novels The Quelling (Lanternfish, 2018) and An Unclean Place (Lanternfish, 2023), as well as two academic monographs, Science, Language, and Reform in Victorian Poetry (Routledge, 2019) and Victorian Literature, Queer Longing and the Shore, 1840–1920 (forthcoming, Edinburgh University Press, 2026). My research interests include women, gender, and sexuality, the environmental humanities, the blue humanities, writing pedagogy, critical feminist pedagogy, and place-based education.

Here is a link to a description of a recent critical/creative talk I gave at the University of Salford, and here is a link to a blue humanities and mythology conference I recently co-organized (with Monika Class and Jorunn Joiner) at Lund University.
