I specialise in Modern and Contemporary Literature, Modernism, T. S. Eliot, little magazines, and Classical Reception in Twentieth-Century Literature. My articles in these areas have appeared in leading academic journals including Forum for Modern Language Studies, The Journal of the T. S. Eliot Society (UK), The Year’s Work in English Studies, CoSMo: Comparative Studies in Modernism, and James Joyce Broadsheet. I am currently transforming my PhD research into a monograph, Homecoming and Poetry: T. S. Eliot’s Many Returns. Taking a thematic approach to nostos in Eliot’s oeuvre, this monograph explores how the trope of homecoming is affected by displacement, expatriation, and migration, yet is restored through settlement, ancestry, memory, and literary form. I am also guest-editing a special issue of Modernist Cultures entitled Yorkshire Modernisms (with Dr Lucy Cheseldine, University of York), reappraising Yorkshire’s role in shaping Modernist Studies. My interdisciplinary research includes projects on AI and linguistic biases (CELCE) and arts-based research on renewable energy (School of Geography). Recently, I contributed to ‘Roots and Journeys: Poetry on Buses’, funded by Leeds’s Cultural Institute under the Smeaton 300 scheme. Collaborating with the Institute for Transport Studies, the Poetry Centre, and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA), the project engaged local communities in creative writing workshops and a poetry competition exploring home and journey. I am also interested in the literary and cultural imagination of underground transport at the intersection of modernism, transport history, and classical reception. My next project will examine the impact of overseas student experience on the shaping of cosmopolitan modernisms. By studying modernist writers of various nationalities, I aim to explore how their experiences of displacement and education abroad reconfigure affiliations and influences from metropolitan centres to forge new literary forms.
