Biography

I received my PhD from the University of York in English Literature, where I focussed on the writer James Baldwin. I taught at Staffordshire University between 2006 and 2012, the year that I joined the University of Manchester. I sit on the Editorial Committee of Manchester University Press and I am the co-founding editor of the James Baldwin Review, an annual peer-reviewed journal published by Manchester University Press. I'm a contributing editor at The A-Line: A Journal of Progressive thought and a former managing editor of Modernism/ Modernity. I am a regular contributor to the Times Literary Supplement & a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
