About

I am a Teaching Fellow in Twentieth-Century and Contemporary Literature in the Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies. My scholarly expertise encompasses British and American speculative literature and cinema, the environmental and energy humanities, and critical theory.

I recently completed a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship in English at Warwick, in the course of which I began work on my second monograph, A Second Modernity: Energy, Infrastructure, and Utopia in British and American Culture. The book explores how British and American authors, filmmakers, architects, and engineers have imagined the future of energy and its infrastructures and the new social worlds the latter would make possible. In the process, A Second Modernity shows that it is the promise of new forms of energy in particular, rather than the development of science and technology in general, that has guided modern British and American speculative thought.
