Areas of interest

I am the Director of the (CIRCL) and Director of the CIRCL M(Res) in Children's Literature and Convenor of its module on 'Theory of Children's Literature' and Co-convenor of its module on 'Myth, Folktale and Popular Culture'; I undertake the supervision of seven MA students from the CIRCL MA every year.

My primary research interest is inter- and multi-disciplinary Critical and Literary Theory. I also have a research interest in those areas in which I teach, particularly anything relating to constructions of identity (gender; national, cultural, ethnic identity etc). I continue to have a strong interest in the construction of childhood in culture, including in non-literary disciplines such as anthropology, psychology, sociology, and philosophy.
