Overview
I have a background in research, with a particular interest in cultural translation and French colonial history and literature. I am currently applying my skills to develop excellence in stewardship at the University.
Having previously been a seminar tutor for 1st and 2nd year undergraduates across the Humanities (Modern History, English Literature, French Studies, Translation Studies), I continue to lecture occasionally in the School of Modern Languages.
