Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

I lead a lively group of PhD students working on a range of PhD programmes, including our established traditional PhD routes, and our recent addition, the PhD in Translation Studies practice-based route.

I also offer teaching and dissertation supervision for a number of MA-level courses.

Broadly speaking, my expertise falls into the areas of Francophone Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Comparative Studies, World Literature, Sexuality and Gender Studies, and Translation Studies. My PhD students work with me on aspects of literature or visual culture that fall into one - or more - of those areas.

More recently, my theoretical interests in World Literature, Postcolonial Studies, Comparative Literature and Translation Studies have led me to supervise students working in languages including Arabic and Amharic, with appropriate co-supervision from colleagues who advise on linguistic aspects.

I hugely enjoy working with a diverse group of students drawn from across the UK and internationally, including mature students, working parents etc, and who choose a course suited to their specific requirements (e.g. Full time or Part Time; Distance Learning or campus based).


Prospective MA and PhD students are welcome to email me to discuss research proposals.

I am also Programme Director of our very popular MA in Contemporary Literature and Critical Theories, a programme which often serves as a springboard to future PhD study.
