About Me

I  am an Irish Research Council  Postdoctoral Fellow based at University College, Dublin.

Before undertaking this research, I taught in the departments of Philosophy and English and Comparative Literary Studies at Warwick University and in the Department of English Literature at the University of Swansea. I have published extensively on W.B. Yeats, and currently work in the areas of psychoanalysis, modernist literature, and contemporary Brtish and Irish Fiction. You can see my publications list here and public talks here.

I am co-investigator along with Julie Walsh in the on-going 'Shame and the Act of Writing' Project at Warwick University, further details of which can be foud here.

This site aims to organise web-materials and reading lists relevant to the 'Environments of Care' project, as well as add and link my own original content and advertise current events to do with the First World War, ecology, psychoanalysis, and literary modernism. If you have any questions or interesting contributions to do with the project please contact me at my institutional address.
