Biographical Information
I completed my BA in English at Jesus college, Cambridge, and my MPhil at Trinity college with the support of the Gould Studentship award. My doctoral research is funded by the OOC AHRC DTP.
Research Interests
My work primarily focuses on twentieth-century American poetry. I have worked on Marianne Moore, Lorine Niedecker, Susan Howe, and currently, Gertrude Stein. My PhD project is positioned between the medical humanities and literary studies, revealing the relationship between the kinds of reading engendered by modernist forms and the medical history of neurodivergence.
