About me
I am an experienced academic leader with responsibility for three subject areas within UWE Bristol's School of Arts. These include Creative and Professional Writing; Culture, Media and Creative Industries; and English Literature. As an Associate Director, I contribute to strategic planning, academic governance, curriculum development, and staff leadership across the Humanities. I manage a large team of academic specialists and I support excellence in teaching, research, and the student journey.
My experience encompasses curriculum transformation, quality assurance, programme approval and review, external examining, research ethics, and assessing professional practice. I have worked extensively on validation and enhancement activities across a wide range of disciplines, in UWE and in the wider sector. Alongside my leadership role, I maintain an active profile as a researcher, editor, lecturer, and creative practitioner.
Area of expertise
My research focuses on modern and contemporary British and American poetry, particularly in relation to place, identity, and literary modernism. My current book project examines British poetry of the 1950s–1970s, bringing new perspectives to the relationship between poets associated with the Movement and the British Poetry Revival. I have published research on a range of modern and contemporary poets, including Basil Bunting, Roy Fisher, Lee Harwood, Hugh MacDiarmid, Zoë Skoulding, William Carlos Williams, and Louis Zukofsky.
I have extensive experience of academic publishing and research leadership. For more than a decade, I served as an editor of the Modern Language Review, one of the leading journals in modern languages and literary studies. I also edited the 2021 Yearbook of English Studies special issue, Contemporary British and Irish Poetry.
As a poet-critic, I combine creative practice with literary scholarship. My poetry has appeared in a range of literary magazines. Along with my critical work, it explores the relationship between poetic form, place, and subjectivity in modern poetry.
