I am a Lecturer in the Department of English and Related Literature at the University of York.

My book Reading Frictions: Memory, Violence and The Politics of Touch in Contemporary World Literature (forthcoming) explores creative representations of historical violence. With Dr Ruth Daly, I edited a special issue of parallax, featuring a series of in-conversations on ‘decolonial feminisms’ today.

My poetry pamphlet Almost, with Tenderness was published by Out-Spoken Press (March, 2025), and I’m working on my first full collection. My poems have been published in journals including The Poetry Review, Ambit, and Propel; I have been highly commended in the Forward Prizes, shortlisted for the Aesthetica Creative Writing Award, and twice longlisted in the National Poetry Competition. I am Associate Editor at Wasafiri Magazine.

Before starting at York, I was Curator at the German Historical Institute, London, where I led the development of the online exhibition Forms, Voices, Networks: Feminism and the Media. I was also Postdoctoral Research & Engagement Fellow at the University of Leeds on the project Imagining Posthuman Care, which included the development of the exhibition Can Robots Care? at the Thackray Museum of Medicine. Before my academic roles, I spent a few years working in arts and cultural organisations.
