I'm a lecturer in English and Creative Writing at Aberystwyth University, where I focus on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature. My research looks at how literature from this period explores questions of gender, disability, and power - especially how people are watched, judged, or controlled by those around them. I'm particularly interested in the rise of surveillance culture around 1800 and how its traces can still be felt today.
My recent work includes a book on literature and surveillance in the Romantic period (Gender, Surveillance, and Literature in the Romantic Period, Routledge, 2022), a study of disability and care in William Godwin's Mandeville, and new research on gossip and social pressure in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.
