About me

I'm a scholar specialising in literary cultures of the Middle Ages. I write about medieval concepts of nature and the environment, animal sound, and race and species, as well as French literature and philosophy. Since completing a PhD in French Studies as a Wolfson Scholar at Warwick, I have been lecteur de langue anglaise at the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris. I have now taken a post as Lecturer in French at the University of Liverpool and I teach at the University of Oxford.
