About

I research in 19th and 20th century literature, particularly in gender and sexuality and their intersection with narrative.

My first monograph _Homoplot: The Coming-out Story and Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Identity_ was published by Peter Lang in 2008 - see 'Books' for further information.

I am currently teaching on 'Further Studies in American Literature and Culture' (BA) at Goldsmiths, and 'Narrative and Sexuality' (MA) at the University of Westminster

I gave a paper on the coming out story at the 'Queer Lives Remodelled' day-conference, Kings College London, in June 2009:

In May 2009, I spoke on the occult interests of the author Radclyffe Hall at Treadwells bookshop (London). Their ongoing lecture series:
