I am a Research Associate at the University of Sheffield working with a British Academy Global Professor exploring the ways that Gothic fiction influences discourses of race. I am also the current Web Officer for the International Gothic Association and co-lead the SIIBS Gothic Bible Project.
- Research interests
-
My research explores the intersections of religion, theology, and representations of the Other within fiction, focusing specifically on Christian constructions of the Jewish Other in literature, and with a particular focus on the Gothic. My PhD thesis examines Christian constructions of the Jewish Other in eighteenth and nineteenth century literature, but I am interested in exploring representations of religion and theology within Gothic and Horror narratives of all periods.
