Person

My research is focused on contemporary and 20th century literature, particularly through questions on translation and censorship.

My dissertation examines how Graham Greene has come to be understood in different parts of the world and how his writings were shaped by the political, material and aesthetic conditions of 20th century literature. In other contexts I've written about banned YA novels in France and the US, ideological criticism in the works of Paul Beatty, the rhetoric of Swedish national romanticism, and the portrayal of gender in the novels of Virginial Woolf and Kristina Sandberg.

I'm the editor of Mediating Censorship (CRCL 2026), Beyond Essentialisms: Translating Sex & Gender (TFL 2023) and The Geschlecht Complex (Bloomsbury, 2022).

I'm an alumni of SCT at Cornell University and have been a visiting scholar at KU Leuven. I'm part of the steering committee for the Komplitt research group and the Dawit Isaak Database of Censorship.
