I am a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at ArCC and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Warwick's Centre for the Study of the Renaissance.

I am a scholar of early modern literature with particular interests in transculturality and how drama interacts with other nascent, non-literary early modern forms. My current research focuses on the ways in which early modern Londoners understood and experienced cultural difference at the level of daily practice. Bringing together a diverse range of texts including drama, instruction books, and parliamentary legislation, my work foregrounds how difference across shifting class structures was assimilated rather than resisted. 

I have published peer-reviewed articles on intra-English conflict in The Merry Wives of Windsor and Henry V in Shakespeare Survey, transcultural culinary encounters in Food & History, and husbandry as an inadequate metaphor for good governance in Shakespeare in Green Letters. I am presently revising my doctoral thesis into a monograph entitled Earth, Realm, England: National Identity and the Land in Shakespeare’s English Histories.

My teaching experience at Oxford, Warwick, and Middlebury has focused on early modern literature, including courses on 'Shakespeare', 'Literature 1550-1660', 'Literature 1660-1760’, 'Early Modern Women's Writing', 'Early Modern Literature and Crime', and '‘Shakespeare and Selected Dramatists of His Time’. I have also taught Jane Austen for Middlebury, Oxford, and Advanced Studies in England.

I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Before beginning my Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at Coventry I was a lecturer at Keble College, Oxford and a tutor for visiting students at Oxford, Middlebury, and Advanced Studies in England. 

I received my DPhil from the University of Oxford under the supervision of Prof. Diane Purkiss.
