About
In May 2011 I successfully defended my doctoral thesis at the University of Glasgow as a Faculty of Arts scholar. The thesis, entitled 'Fostering an Irish Writer's Circle: a Revisionist Reading of the life and work of Samuel Thomson, an Ulster Poet', revises the poetic output of the eighteenth-century poet Samuel Thomson and his relationship to Scottish and Irish Romantic literature.
Since graduating in June, I have been based in Oxford where I continue to develop my research agenda. I have recently edited the collected correspondence of Samuel Thomson, published by Four Courts Press, Dublin:

I have undertaken research for the Centre for Robert Burns Studies, BBC Scotland and the AHRC-funded South Carolina/Stirling Collected Works of James Hogg project.
During my doctoral studies, I taught the Level 2 course at the University of Glasgow in Scottish Literature which examines writings from Medieval to early Modern. I was co-organiser of the Departmental residential reading weekend on the Isle of Arran and helped organise the Department of Scottish Literature's 2009 postgraduate conference, 'Spinning Scotland'.
I would like to acknowledge the support of the following bodies which helped make my graduate work possible: the British Association for Irish Studies, the University of Glasgow Faculty of Arts, the British Association of Romantic Studies, and the British Society for Eighteenth Century Studies. In addition to awards from these bodies, I am grateful to have been awarded the Colonel Walter Scott Memorial Award (University of Glasgow) 2008-2010 and two Stephen Copley research grants from BARS.
Previously, I studied for a BA degree in English Lang & Lit (Course II) at Oxford where I completed my undergraduate thesis on the Rhyming Weaver poets of Ulster.
