Senior Lecturer in English
Teaching and supervision

Research
- My main area of interest is in American fiction, particularly US writers Sara Paretsky and David Markson. I also have interests in Irish fiction and poetry. I have wrote essays and book chapters on James Joyce and at present, I am writing an essay on US author Philip Roth.
