Personal profile
Research interests
My research explores what happens to our sense of self when we exist in a multimedia reality. My SWW DTP funded PhD considers the impact of sound technologies, especially radio, on the work of Patrick Hamilton, arguing for Hamilton's place in accounts of the long 1930s, and the importance of the sonic in how we think and talk about consciousness.
Publications include an essay on suffering and the breakdown of speech in Hamilton's radio dramas in Poltergeist, and on the difficulties of communicating with and about India in the radio broadcasts of E. M. Forster and Louis MacNeice for Moveable Type. I have also reviewed sound and radio studies publications for Sound Studies and The Modernist Review.
I have spoken at conferences organised by the British Association for Modernist Studies, UCL, and Trinity College Dublin.
