- Senior Lecturer in Literature, York St John University
I am a Senior Lecturer in Literature at York St. John University, UK. I completed a PhD in American Literature in 2015. I specialise in American writing with particular interests in conflict, testimony, and trauma. I have published research on a range of literary figures such as Ernest Hemingway, James Jones and Norman Mailer. I am also a founding member of the Music, Memory and Narrative Research Group and work on music writing, memory and memoir. I co-edited the Bloomsbury edited collection Music, Memory and Memoir (2019) and the Equinox collections Venue Stories (2023) and Turntable Stories (2026) and have published work on musical figures such as Kristin Hersh and Mark Lanegan. I also produce creative writing which can be found in the aforementioned edited collections and on the Twistin’ My Memory, Man blogspace. My teaching interests include American literature, autobiography and memoir, and twentieth and twenty-first-century war writing.
