My primary research area is modern and contemporary women's writing, religion and spirituality and feminist theory.
I also have a teaching and research interest in anglophone children's literature (mid-nineteenth century to the present).
I would welcome enquires to supervise phd students in the following areas: modernism, late nineteenth and twentieth century women's writing, feminist theory, children's literature, life-writing, literature and religion.

My recent research project explored spirituality and things in the work of four modernist women writers: Mary Butts, Virginia Woolf, H.D. and Gwendolyn Brooks. I am currently working on a project on women writers, everyday spirituality and place.
