My PhD (University of Kent, 2010) was on the relationship between science and popular fiction in the Strand Magazine. I came to LJMU in 2012 and currently teach on Vamps and Villains: Exploring Gothic Fiction (Stage 6) as well as module leading The English Dissertation (Stage 6) and The Victorians: Realism, Science & Sensation (Stage 5).

I have published several articles and a monograph on the work of Arthur Conan Doyle and I currently sit on the editorial board for Edinburgh University Press' new series of scholarly editions of his work. For this series I edited The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (2023). My new book project is on the relationship between literature and silent cinema.

I am interested in supervising postgraduate work (MA, MRes, PhD) on popular fiction, science, periodicals and early cinema (~1880-1920).
