A very warm welcome and thank you for visiting my personal website. I am a university teacher, researcher, and author, and since October 2022 have been the Subject-lead Skills & Languages at Lancaster University Leipzig. Here you can find out about all of these activities, and get in touch if you wish.

Prior to joining Lancaster University Leipzig on a full-time permanent basis, I taught English Literature and Culture at the Universities of Leipzig, Erfurt, and Hamburg. Since 2013, I have been a Visiting Fellow of the School of English and Drama, Queen Mary University of London. During the 2020 summer term, I was Guest Professor of English at the University of Hamburg, and between 2015 and 2019 I successfully carried out, as Principal Investigator, a Postdoctoral Fellowship of the German Research Foundation at Hamburg. Between 2014 and 2015, I worked as an Associate Lecturer in English at Goldsmiths, University of London, and from 2009 to 2012 I was a Teaching Assistant in English at Queen Mary University of London.

I hold a PhD in English Literature from Queen Mary University of London, an MSc (with Distinction) in the same subject from the University of Edinburgh, a BA in English and History (First Class) from the University of Hull, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (Modern Foreign Languages, Secondary Schools) from Goldsmiths, University of London. My book, entitled Henry Crabb Robinson: Romantic Comparatist, 1790–1811, was published by Liverpool University Press in 2020; you can find out more about it here.
