Senior Co-ordinating Lecturer in Humanities, Cardiff University I returned to education as a mature student, having completed part of my undergraduate studies at Oxford University’s Department for Continuing Education.

My research interests include the short story, women’s writing, feminist theory, ecocriticism, nineteenth-century newspapers, literary networks, literature and higher education, and widening access.
